This was a very neat exercise. There were, however, some situations, where I felt that it does not matter which decision the car makes. In those situations, my moral compass had no clear direction. I decided to go with less intervention in those scenarios. Unfortunately, it happened to result in the death of more women and fat people, which was not the intention.
I think that in reality, when implementing such systems, there should be an option to insert a measure of randomness. Perhaps in certain situations there is no clear "better" outcome, taking into consideration data from simulations such as this. In that case, forcing an engineer to make a clear decision causes undue burden. It should be possible to say: flip a coin. In other situations, the amount of randomness could be less than 100%, to reflect the variance in society's mores and values.
