It somewhat annoys me that we could eliminate 99.9% of accidents, yet people still would object to a self-driving car because of contrived fictional situations like the one described above. A freak situation like the one described above would surely make the news - "Hero driver saves family by giving his life" and/or "Our mom would still be alive if that asshole wasn't so selfish". Yet I don't remember seeing a single story like this, ever. From comment threads on self-driving vehicles, you'd think these moral dilemmas are a daily, if not an hourly, thing in traffic.
