This sort of thing can happen for humans in a way where they have time to make a choice. A stick throttle with brakes that can’t overcome it could get you into a situation like that, for example. You’re right that computers would be able to make that kind of decision in a much wider range of scenarios. However, computers will also be much likely to get into those scenarios in the first place. I’m not at all convinced that the net result is computers encountering situations where they can make a choice more often than humans do. I think both will be so rare they any effort spent on them would be better spent on avoiding crashes altogether.
