A little survey
Imagine you are 50 years in the future. You come to a car-sales event to purchase your very first self-driving autopilot car.These cars will revolutionise road safety, having far better reaction speeds and split-second decision-making capabilities than a human driver.However, the sales agent explained to you that in the extremely rare event of an unavoidable accident, it will sacrifice you if it can save more people and minimise life casualties as a result.Say if, one day, while you are driving along, an unfortunate set of events causes the car to head towards a crowd of 10 people crossing the road. It cannot stop in time, so it will avoid killing 10 people by steering into a wall, killing you. What will you do next?Buy it or not?

GwenI would ask the sales agent to explain the scenario of unavoidable accidents. If well designed and fully tested, all accidents should be avoided.

If it can estimate this situation accurately and make a decision, I think it is smart enough and be worth buying!
