To answer to your edited version: I agree that it should avoid an accident as much as possible, but I don't assume that that will be an option in all possible situations. The case given was a thought experiment to indicate the ethical conundrum, not a real life situation. It's not supposed to be realistic, it's a jumping off point for a discussions. The problem with your statements so far is that they assume perfect knowledge of the surroundings. How fast is the car allowed to go if it's 99% confident that there is nothing that can jump in the way? how about 99.999%? When is enough? If you deal with absolutes, the only thing you can end up with is "an extremely low speed". Lastly: I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with that video. At any speed high enough, a car needs distances measured in yards to stop and turn, regardless of how good it is. In the case of trucks, that can even be measured in miles. There are rigid limits on how manoeuvrable a car can be, and they need to be calculated into anything the car does.
