Should driverless cars kill their own passengers to save a pedestrian?

RE: Should driverless cars kill their own passengers to save a pedestrian?
The car is going to do its best to try not to kill anyone. The same as any responsible driver. I'm not sure how this is an ethical issue, or anything. It will be programmed to avoid pedestrians, while avoiding careening off a clif, and will do what it cn to avoid both. That is what anyone or anything in control of a care should do.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
