为自动驾驶车内监控系统设计可落地的伦理框架,解决隐私与公平难题。
From Review to Design: Ethical Multimodal Driver Monitoring Systems for Risk Mitigation, Incident Response, and Accountability in Automated Vehicles

- 基于法规审查提出模块化伦理设计框架
- 支持用户自定义授权与情绪保护机制
- 适合关注自动驾驶伦理与合规的开发者
随着车辆自动化水平提升,驾驶员监控系统(DMS)成为保障人工监督、安全及合规的关键。这类系统依赖多模态传感与人工智能推断,评估驾驶员注意力、认知状态和接管能力。然而其部署带来一系列伦理与法律挑战,涵盖隐私、同意、数据所有权及算法公平性。尽管欧盟通用数据保护条例(GDPR)、欧盟人工智能法案(EU AI Act)和IEEE标准提供指导,但难以应对车内传感技术特有的风险。本文采用从评审到设计的视角,批判性分析现有法规与伦理框架,识别其在多模态AI车内监控中的适用性缺口。在此基础上,提出专为DMS定制的模块化伦理设计框架,将高层次原则转化为可操作的设计与部署建议,包括用户可配置的同意机制、公平导向的模型开发、透明可解释工具以及对驾驶员情绪健康的保护措施。最后,提出风险分析与故障缓解策略,强调针对DMS场景的主动事故响应与问责机制。整体贡献旨在推动下一代自动驾驶车辆中透明、可信且以人为中心的驾驶员监控系统发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As vehicles transition toward higher levels of automation, Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) have become essential for ensuring human oversight, safety, and regulatory compliance in a vehicle. These systems rely on multimodal sensing and AI-driven inference to assess driver attention, cognitive state, and readiness to take control. While technologically promising, their deployment introduces a complex set of ethical and legal challenges - ranging from privacy and consent to data ownership and algorithmic fairness. While overarching frameworks such as the GDPR, EU AI Act, and IEEE standards offer important guidance, they lack the specificity required for addressing the unique risks posed by in-cabin sensing technologies. This paper adopts a review-to-design perspective, critically examining existing regulatory instruments and ethical frameworks -- such as the GDPR, the EU AI Act, and IEEE guidelines -- and identifying gaps in their applicability to the distinctive risks posed by multimodal, AI-enabled in-cabin monitoring. Building on this review, we propose a modular ethical design framework tailored specifically to Driver Monitoring Systems. The framework translates high-level principles into actionable design and deployment guidance, including user-configurable consent mechanisms, fairness-aware model development, transparency and explainability tools, and safeguards for driver emotional well-being. Finally, the paper outlines a risk analysis and failure mitigation strategy, emphasizing proactive incident response and accountability mechanisms tailored to the DMS context. Together, these contributions aim to inform the development of transparent, trustworthy, and human-centered driver monitoring systems for next-generation autonomous vehicles.
