Don't look now but you just made a decision.
The result of your choice, to brake or 'just stop' means there will be situations where passengers die to save real or theoretical pedestrians, as soon as this is established in the media the sales of these cars will plummet, and your decision will have repercussions increasing the number of human-accidents across the board.

I think we may be talking about different things, probabilities are the foundation of self driving algorithms, there is never a 100% right place, just adjustments and corrections, calculations that lead to percentages that lead to choices. Maybe you are thinking about the older cruise control (like in some BMWs), they tried to anticipate things on the road and would brake faster than a human could, saved a few bumps, caused a few..
