I vehemently disagree with this. Notice how at 38:24 how it slows down for the pedestrians, most importantly the child, even though it had clear right-of-way? Why? Because children do stupid shit. That's why school speed zones exist, and why they had to double fines in school zones: because these "remotely decent" human beings are incapable of correctly assessing their skill, and regulating their behavior. People are concerned about how AI determines who to kill in a lose-lose situation, but humans routinely send the trolley towards other humans for the sake of their own time.
How many people do you know who actually adhere to the speed limit, who actually maintain safe following distance, and who actually practice defensive driving?
Barely competent and trivial situations are already far beyond human capability.
