| Resumo: | The aim of this paper is to reflect on the need to have moral standards to guide autonomous vehicles (AVs) and to propose a procedure of reflective equilibrium (RE) for this purpose. Bearing this in mind, I begin with an investigation into moral disagreement to find out how we should decide in cases of uncertainty, arguing that we should use a procedure that brings together different normative criteria. Afterwards, I present an interesting investigation route, which is the method of collective reflective equilibrium in practice (CREP) as proposed by Savulescu, Gyngell and Kahane (2021), which corrects the results of the Moral Machine experiment and proposes principles of public policy to regulate VAs. The next step is to analyze the reflexive equilibrium (RE) procedure, identifying its basic characteristics of consistency, reflexivity, holism and progressiveness. Next, I point out the limits of CREP, because it leaves out the normative criterion of virtues and does not form a coherent system of beliefs that is wide enough. Finally, I present the suggestion of collective wide reflective equilibrium (CWRE) in order to consider the normative plurality that is the basis of our society and propose a methodology to identify the moral standard for VAs. |
