I suspect these cases are simply way more rare than people expect, especially if the car is driving defensively. If the car is, for instance, tracking likely pedestrians that will enter the road and slows down for safety when they’re near, someone would have to irresponsibly run into the road. If the choice is to hit them or turn over a cliff, I’d expect the car to hit the careless pedestrian.
