Abstract:

 The wave of rapid change and transformation in the fields of information and communication technologies has also affected the types of mobility. This study determines the limits of driverless vehicle technology in the field of public policy; analysis of its actors and market size; fatal accidents in urban areas, greenhouse gas emissions from traffic, and problems similar to them. Whether it can be a tool to reduce negatives; It is aimed to determine the legal problems that may be encountered due to the mechanization that it will cause and its positive and negative externalities. With the widespread use of autonomous vehicle technology, potential security problems such as surveillance, privacy, data security, cyber attack and the development of autonomous attack tactics come to the fore. In addition to these safety problems, the legal situation in accidents involving autonomous vehicles and the artificial intelligence-supported decisions that autonomous vehicles will take in case of a possible accident are morally discussed. In this study, to determine what public policies regarding the technology in question might be in the light of current legal and moral dilemmas, the German Ethics Commission on Automated and Interconnected Driving has been mentioned twenty-item principles that reveal a common ethical understanding of autonomous vehicle technology. Because this ethical coding study, which is one of the pioneering studies in the world, regulates what should be considered in the development of autonomous vehicle systems. In the conclusion part of the study, recommendations for Türkiye have been developed based on the ethical coding, which is a summary of the responsibilities of the public sector.

 Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri alanlarında yaşanan hızlı değişim ve dönüşüm dalgası hareketlilik çeşitlerini de etkilemiştir. Bu çalışma ile sürücüsüz araç teknolojisinin kamu politikası alanındaki sınırlarının saptanması; aktörlerinin ve market büyüklüğünün incelenmesi; kentsel alanlarda karşılaşılan ölümlü kaza, trafik kaynaklı sera gazı emisyonu vb. olumsuzlukların azaltılmasına araç olup olamayacağı; sebep olacağı makineleşme sebebiyle karşılaşılabilecek hukuki sorunların neler olduğu ve olumlu-olumsuz dışsallıklarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Otonom araç teknolojisinin yaygınlaşması ile gözetim, mahremiyet, veri güvenliği, siber saldırı ve otonom saldırı taktiği geliştirilmesi gibi potansiyel güvenlik sorunları gündeme gelmektedir. Bu güvenlik sorunlarının yanı sıra otonom araçların taraf olduğu kazalardaki hukuki durum ve otonom araçların olası kaza durumunda alacağı yapay zekâ destekli kararlar ahlaki açıdan tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, güncel hukuki ve ahlaki ikilemler ışığında söz konusu teknolojiye ilişkin kamu politikalarının neler olabileceğinin saptanması amacıyla, Alman Otonom Sürüş Etik Komisyonu tarafından otonom araç teknolojisine yönelik standart bir etik anlayış ortaya koyan yirmi maddelik ilkeler bütününe yer verilmiştir. Zira dünyadaki öncü çalışmalardan birisi olan bu etik kodlama çalışması, otonom araç sistemlerinin geliştirilmesi sürecinde dikkate alınması gerekenleri düzenlemektedir. Kamu sektörüne düşen sorumlulukların özeti niteliğindeki etik kodlama çalışmasından yola çıkılarak çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde Türkiye için öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
