One of the assignments for students in CS 181: Computers, Ethics and Public Policy involved regulating campus vehicles in a future where autonomous vehicles are prevalent and considering speed limits, pedestrians and how to handle accidents. This and other assignments helped them explore technology's impact on people and society from the perspective of a policymaker, computer programmer or philosopher.
