융합시대를 위해 자동차 급발진사고 논쟁 톺아보기 = Examination on the Arguments of Sudden Unintended Acceleration for the Era of Convergence

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As motor cars have been changed to the machines that soaked with electronics, a lot of sudden unintended acceleration incidents(SUA) occurs. SUAs bring lawsuits because they usually cause the driver and/or others into serious death and/or injury. Plaintiffs insist the root of the incidents is electronics of cars. But examiners rule out the possibility and automakers insist the root is driver’s pedal misapplication.
In this paper, we surveyed views on SUA, such as ‘bad drivers’ and ‘bad cars’. And we analyse SUAs happened in USA, especially the reports written by NHTSA, NASA and the investigation report on the Saylor’s Toyota Lexus runaway incident. We suggest some possible objections on the results of the investigations. By the analysis results we think about the attitude that designers should have.
