Dear Researchers at SEG,

We are contacting you to study the public perception of ethically appropriate behavior of self-driving cars (SDCs). The aim is to explore how individuals judge the behavior of SDCs in various scenarios, and how these judgments reflect personal moral values.

The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and all responses are anonymous.

We would be grateful if you could submit your response by September 10th.

Thank you for your time and contribution to our research! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Best regards, Yelyzaveta Kurkchi and Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy Christian Birchler and Sebastiano Panichella, University of Bern, Switzerland
