Focussing on self driving cars . . .
I expect these situations will be rare, self driving cars won't allow them selves to be in a position where there isn't a safe way out or way to stop. There will be edge cases of course. For those yes there will be some predetermination in the programming on whether the car crashes itself to avoid pedestrians. But even then every effort will be made to save as many lives as possible.
It it was me dying or 20 pedestrians or a bus full of kids I'd be glad it crashed me rather than taking them out.
One thought, will there be luxury brands that would take out the pedestrians protecting the driver at all costs, will programs take in to account the person in the car, doctor, celebrity, elected official will that be part of the equation?
But then there will be advances like this where car fatalities will be extremely rare. (hopefully)
