Yeah, these points are constantly brought up with self driving car tech and are honestly extremely boring. The cars will just slam on the brakes as the most effective way to avoid an accident. No software is going to look at the number of passengers or the value of passengers and decide which car needs to be sacrificed for the greater good. Self-driving cars don't need to be programmed to be the ultimate moral arbiters of life. They just need to be safer than human drivers. What would optimal human drivers do in the instance that a family jumps out into the middle of the road? Probably just slam on the brakes. Not send their car head first into a semi trailer moving in the opposite direction.
