Abstract: •101 publications that cover the integration of ethical theories into the software of self-driving vehicles are synthesized.•Advantages and disadvantages of applying particular ethical theories to the decision-making of self-driving vehicles are identified.•No single theory is sufficient to meet all social, moral/legal, and functional considerations; instead, hybrid approaches are necessary to counteract tradeoffs.•A summarizing model of applying and integrating ethical theories to decision-making of self-driving vehicles is derived.
