  The expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems has
shown the potential to generate enormous social good while also raising serious
ethical and safety concerns. AI technology is increasingly adopted in
transportation. A survey of various in-vehicle technologies found that
approximately 64% of the respondents used a smartphone application to assist
with their travel. The top-used applications were navigation and real-time
traffic information systems. Among those who used smartphones during their
commutes, the top-used applications were navigation and entertainment. There is
a pressing need to address relevant social concerns to allow for the
development of systems of intelligent agents that are informed and cognizant of
ethical standards. Doing so will facilitate the responsible integration of
these systems in society. To this end, we have applied Multi-Criteria Decision
Analysis (MCDA) to develop a formal Multi-Attribute Impact Assessment (MAIA)
questionnaire for examining the social and ethical issues associated with the
uptake of AI. We have focused on the domain of autonomous vehicles (AVs)
because of their imminent expansion. However, AVs could serve as a stand-in for
any domain where intelligent, autonomous agents interact with humans, either on
an individual level (e.g., pedestrians, passengers) or a societal level.
