A drone isn't the same thing as a car with a person in it.
Look at the problem tree for the drone, if it comes to a decision between crashing into the big expensive carrier or dumping it self in the sea, whats it going to choose? You can base this decision on dollars only and still make the right call.
The self driving car is going to face a genuine ethical dilemma at some point (or its coding will have to deal with one, as it isn't "self aware"). For the sake of simplicity lets make that "occupant or pedestrian". Are the lives of equal value? How does it choose? Am I allowed to influence that choice as the "passenger" in the car? By getting in the car do I have to agree to some TOS that says the car will sacrifice me to save someone else when it is unavoidable?
