Thesis Defense by CHIA Jun Jie Jeremy | Autonomous Vehicle Innovation and Implications on Adoption, Liability and Policy, Using Quantum Technologies and Artificial Wisdom

The proposed thesis aims to explore the use of two new innovations for the issues facing autonomous vehicles (AV), those of quantum technologies and artificial wisdom. The issue of delayed at-scale commercialization and adoption of autonomous vehicles due to the extensive dynamic capability required to derive an optimal process solution for any complex, dynamic and adaptive autonomous vehicle ecosystem is shown to be resolved by the use of these innovations.
 
Quantum computing might also open up the door for the application of the Wisdom Approach in the AV industry and technology in a broad manner while enabling the creation of an Ethics Chip by adopting the Wisdom approach. Artificial Wisdom embodies a dynamic capability which will be able to derive an optimal process solution for any complex, dynamic and adaptive system that involves constructs with inherent instability. It will enable AV car makers to create a car that universally fulfils the ethical frameworks adopted by populations around the world, even in the absence of agreement on a global moral code; and provide a solution to the issue of delayed at-scale commercialization and adoption of AVs.
