  Triggered by modern technologies, our possibilities may now expand beyond the
unthinkable. Cars externally may look similar to decades ago, but a dramatic
revolution happened inside the cabin as a result of their computation,
communications, and storage capabilities. With the advent of Electric
Autonomous Vehicles (EAVs), Artificial Intelligence and ecological technologies
found the best synergy. Several transportation problems may be solved
(accidents, emissions, and congestion among others), and the foundation of
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) economy could be established, in addition to
value-added services such as infotainment (information and entertainment).
  In the world where intelligent technologies are pervading everyday life,
software and algorithms play a major role. Software has been lately introduced
in virtually every technological product available on the market, from phones
to television sets to cars and even housing. Artificial Intelligence is one of
the consequences of this pervasive presence of algorithms. The role of software
is becoming dominant and technology is, at times pervasive, of our existence.
Concerns, such as privacy and security, demand high attention and have been
already explored to some level of detail. However, intelligent agents and
actors are often considered as perfect entities that will overcome human
error-prone nature. This may not always be the case and we advocate that the
notion of reputation is also applicable to intelligent artificial agents, in
particular to EAVs.
