"Self-driving cars are currently learning to drive. Alongside well-publicised developments in machine learning, this also involves a more complicated process of social learning. Understanding and governing the politics of this technology means asking ‘Who is learning, what are they learning and how are they learning?’ On-road trials taking place in cities around the world offer a window into the social complexities of a debate that is often presented as technical. In his lecture, Jack Stilgoe will report on his previous research on the chaotic self-driving experimentation that has already taken place and describe the approach of his team’s new project “Driverless Futures?”."
Dr. Jack Stilgoe is an associate professor in Science and Technology Studies at UCL. He works on science and technology policy, particularly the governance of emerging technologies. Among other publications, he is the author of Experiment Earth: Responsible innovation in geoengineering. He leads “Driverless Futures?”, a three-year project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council to investigate how self-driving car technologies can be governed in the public interest.
