The driving task also requires long concentration spans, focusing on the entire task for prolonged periods, and sophisticated negotiation skills with other road users including wild animals. Modern motor vehicles include an array of smart assistive and autonomous driving systems capable of subsuming some, most, or in limited cases, all of the driving task. Building these smart automotive systems requires software developers with highly technical software engineering skills, and now a lawyer\u2019s in-depth knowledge of traffic legislation as well. This article presents an approach for deconstructing the complicated legalese of traffic law and representing its requirements and flow. Our approach (de)constructs road rules in legal terminology and specifies them in \u2018structured English logic\u2019 that is expressed as \u2018Boolean logic\u2019 for automation and \u2018Lawmaps\u2019 for visualization. We demonstrate an example using these tools leading to the construction and validation of a \u2018Bayesian Network model\u2019. We strongly believe these tools to be approachable by programmers and the general public, useful in development of Artificial Intelligence to underpin motor vehicle smart systems, and in validation to ensure these systems are considerate of the law when making decisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ijlit\/eaac002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,10]],"date-time":"2022-01-10T20:10:16Z","timestamp":1641845416000},"page":"255-295","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Smart automotive technology adherence to the law: (de)constructing road rules for autonomous system development, verification and safety"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Scott","family":"McLachlan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SCRIPT Centre, Edinburgh Law School, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK; Birmingham Law School, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK; Risk and Information Management, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK; Health informatics and Knowledge Engineering Research (HiKER) Group"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Neil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Risk and Information Management, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK"}]},{"given":"Kudakwashe","family":"Dube","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Fundamental Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand; Health informatics and Knowledge Engineering Research (HiKER) Group"}]},{"given":"Ronny","family":"Bogani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SCRIPT Centre, Edinburgh Law School, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}]},{"given":"Norman","family":"Fenton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Risk and Information\u2002Management, Queen Mary University of London, London, UK"}]},{"given":"Burkhard","family":"Schaffer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SCRIPT\u2002Centre, Edinburgh Law School, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]]},"container-title":["International Journal of Law and Information Technology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ijlit\/article-pdf\/29\/4\/255\/42880562\/eaac002.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ijlit\/article-pdf\/29\/4\/255\/42880562\/eaac002.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,13]],"date-time":"2022-03-13T19:40:06Z","timestamp":1647200406000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ijlit\/article\/29\/4\/255\/6534108"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/ijlit\/eaac002","relation":{},"ISSN":["0967-0769","1464-3693"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0967-0769","type":"print"},{"value":"1464-3693","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]]}}}
