Our study aims at progressing the assessment of the moral behaviour of human drivers. It is a felicitous coincidence that psychological and philosophical research into human morality has been dominated by thought experiments, resembling vehicles facing emergency situations. These thought experiments involve a running trolley, and have been used to contrast different moral principles, especially deontology versus utilitarianism. We designed an ecologically valid trolley-like dilemma with the help of virtual reality, aimed to understand the moral behavior of human subjects when facing a car accident situation. We report and comment on early results of our first tests.

Abstract
Our study aims at progressing the assessment of the moral behaviour of human drivers. It is a felicitous coincidence that psychological and philosophical research into human morality has been dominated by thought experiments, resembling vehicles facing emergency situations. These thought experiments involve a running trolley, and have been used to contrast different moral principles, especially deontology versus utilitarianism. We designed an ecologically valid trolley-like dilemma with the help of virtual reality, aimed to understand the moral behavior of human subjects when facing a car accident situation. We report and comment on early results of our first tests.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
