Abstract
The last section takes a look at issues that are not measurable or quantifiable in the conventional sense. It deals with ethical questions that go hand in hand with the progress of data-driven mobility controlled by artificial intelligence. Is a zero-fatality approach to autonomous driving justified? Should the life of young people be given more weight in an accident? Can the value of human life be quantified at all? And how could data collected about each user be misused? These questions are not answered conclusively, but they must be raised and kept in mind.
