CONTEXT
A wicked problem is a social or cultural problem that is difficult or impossible to solve for as many as four reasons: 1. Incomplete or contradictory knowledge, 2. The number of people and opinions involved, 3. The large economic burden, and 4. The interconnected nature of these problems with other problems. A Wicked Problem The future of autonomous vehicles can be considered to be a complex ‘wicked’ problem. To address it, we need to understand and challenge the views of many different experts.
