This paper gives an overview on some ethical aspects of ITS development and applications. The technical evolution of ITSs is a basis for development of various ITS technologies, systems, applications, and services. The future ITSs will become more and more intelligent and autonomous in their behavior. The new kind of advanced ITSs will emerge in the future, e.g. ITS with artificial moral agent. There will be a need for creating a new kind of "machine" ethics, called ITS ethics, for ITS professionals, namely ITS designers, manufacturers and users. ITS ethics addresses a number of moral issues which arise if researchers are able to build up intelligent systems with intellectual capacities that behave analogically to human beings. The most important problem will be: who or what is morally responsible for malfunctions of ITSs? The malfunctions of ITS usually cause some unnecessary suffering to people, and it is immoral.
