Ethics of Autonomous Vehicles

An exhibit for the I AM AI exhibition.

Configuration

The exhibit can be configured using a config file located at the same level as the index.html file. By default, ./config.json is used. A different config file can be specified via the config query string variable, e.g. index.html?config=myconfig.json.

Possible config options include:

  • defaultLanguage (string, default: "en"): Default language to use. Can be overridden by the lang query string.
  • languages (array of strings, default: ['de', 'en']): The languages loaded for i18n. Must match .json locale files in ./assets/locales.
  • showLanguageSwitcher (boolean, default: true): Whether to show a button for switching languages. If the button is hidden, languages can still be switched using the l key.
  • autoAdvance (boolean, default: false): Whether the app should automatically advance whenever stepping forward is the only possible action.
  • backgroundImage (string, default ./assets/images/street.png): Sets the path or URL to the background image.

Compilation

This exhibit is built using several compilable languages:

  • The HTML pages are built from pug template files.
  • The CSS stylesheet is pre-compiled from sass files.
  • The JS scripts are trans-compiled from es6 (ES2015) files.

To make any modifications re-compilation is necessary. You should install:

  • node and npm
  • gulp (install globally)

Afterwards run the following in the command line:

cd src
npm install

After it runs succesfuly you can compile as needed:

  • sass (stylesheets)

    gulp styles

  • scripts (ES6)

    gulp scripts

  • pug (HTML pages)

    gulp html

  • all

Start a web server at localhost:8080, from where you can use the exhibit:
