| contents | Region-wide restrictions on personal vehicle travel have a long history in the United States, from riot curfews in the late 1960s, to travel bans during snow events, to the 2013 shelter-in-place "lockdown" during the search for the perpetrator of the Boston Marathon bombing. Because lockdowns require tremendous resources to enforce, they are often limited in duration or scope. The introduction of automated driving systems may allow governments to quickly and cheaply effect large-area lockdowns by jamming wireless communications, spoofing road closures on digital maps, exploiting a vehicle's programming to obey all traffic control devices, or coordinating with vehicle developers. Future vehicles may lack conventional controls, rendering them undrivable by the public. As travel restrictions become easier to implement, governments may enforce them more frequently, over longer durations and wider areas. This article explores the practical, legal, and ethical implications of lockdowns when most driving is highly automated, and provides guidance for the development of lockdown policies. |
