Freedom and Safety in Transportation: Speed controls and other techno-regulation in driving
This case focuses on Jilles Smids’ paper “The Moral Case for Intelligent Speed Adaptation” (2015) to explore whether techno-regulations (like cars that prevent drivers from speeding) should be used to promote public values like health and safety, to what extent they are in contrast with individual freedom, whether such techno-regulations are morally acceptable, and why or why not.
