“技术中介”视阈下的角色与责任变化——以自动驾驶为例

Roles and Responsibilities Change from the Perspective of Technological Mediation:Take Autonomous Vehicles for example

责任分配是自动驾驶应用中亟待解决的问题。技术中介论提供解决责任分配问题的新视角,一方面肯定技术在调节人的认知和行为发挥的积极作用,另一方面强调技术与人的角色关系是动态变化的。通过自动化层级、角色和责任等因素建立情景分析模型,从而理清自动驾驶中的责任分配问题。在人技交互越来越密切的时代背景下,需要在技术标准和法律的基础上制定新的责任框架以应对更为复杂的责任分配问题。

Responsibility distribution is an urgent problem to solve in autonomous vehicles. Technological mediation provides a new perspective to solve the problem of responsibility distribution. On the one hand,it deems that technology plays a positive role in regulating perception and action of human.On the other hand,it emphasizes that the relationship between technology and human beings is dynamic. Situational analysis model is constructed through the factors such as automation hierarchy,the change of role and responsibility,and to clarify the problem of responsibility distribution in autonomous vehicles. In the era of increasingly close human and technological interaction,a new responsibility framework needs to be developed on the basis of technical standards and legal rules to deal with the more complex problems of responsibility distribution.
