The Ministry of Science and Technology has published the "Guidelines for Research and Development Ethics of Driver Automation Technology" on its official website, aiming to prevent technological and ethical risks in the research and development process and product application, and promote the healthy development of this field. It particularly emphasizes that when facing unavoidable traffic accidents or extreme driving conditions, the driver automation system should ensure a high level of respect for life and actively seek effective ways to minimize harm to people. The "Guidelines" also stress that when releasing major research findings, relevant parties should adhere to objectivity, accuracy, and truthfulness, and should not fabricate or disseminate false information that is inconsistent with the actual functions and effects of driver automation systems.
