Engineer A has a responsibility to fully and actively participate as a member of the engineering risk management team, clearly and unambiguously express any and all concerns he has regarding the safety of the proposed autonomous vehicle operation system
engineers should strive to do no harm in the performance of their professional services
explore additional potential technical options that could mitigate the risks identified in the proposed autonomous vehicle operating system
if necessary, Engineer A should propose that further study be undertaken by the company before the autonomous vehicle operating system is utilized
