Assignment: Autonomous Electric Vehicle (EV) Accidents - Background Study

Objective:

To familiarize yourself with the realm of autonomous Electric Vehicles (EVS) and

gather a foundational understanding of the accidents that have occurred due to

their operation. This knowledge will set the stage for a deeper analysis of the

ethical issues surrounding these incidents in the subsequent components of the

course project.

Tasks:

1. Introduction to Autonomous EVs

- Provide a brief overview of autonomous EVs, highlighting their primary

components from an Electrical and Computer Engineering perspective.

- Explain the intersection of electrical engineering (focused on vehicle hardware

and mechanisms) with computer engineering (emphasizing software algorithms

and Al).
