It's interesting to make this stuff explicit, but here's my prioritization of the factors measured:
1. Species Preference
2. Protecting Passengers (Passengers > Pedestrians)
3. Saving More Lives
4. Upholding The Law
5. Avoiding Intervention
6. Age Preference
7. Fitness Preference
8. Social Value Preference
9. Gender Preference
"Avoiding Intervention" is an interesting one, because basically after that one, you've given up the opportunity to affect outcomes. I can certainly prioritize after that, but as a car maker, I couldn't do anything about my prioritization without breaking my avoiding intervention choice.
There's also some complication around prioritization of "Species Preference". I chose to put that first because it captures my intent best--I want human lives always prioritized over pet lives, i.e. this situation[1]. But it gets a bit complicated with the interaction of "Saving More Lives" and 4/5. I'd avoid intervention and uphold the law without regard saving more lives if those lives are pets (I'd go straight here[2]) but I'd always save more human lives without regard to pet lives, upholding the law, or avoiding intervention (swerve here[3]) and I'd always save more lives without regard to upholding the law or avoiding intervention if those lives are not mixed human/pet groups (swerve here[4] and here[5]). This makes sense if you look at this as 3/4/5 applied to human lives are prioritized as a group before 3/4/5 applied to pet lives.

- NoGravitas 10y agoMy problem is that it didn't distinguish between cat and dog lives, whereas that was a major part of my decision-making. /s
