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

RE: Should driverless cars kill their own passengers to save a pedestrian?
Don't all commercial planes fly on autopilot 95% of the time.
Plane deaths are multitudes less than cars. And then I would also suggest that human error caused the vast majority of them. I just think the driverless cars are like the electric cars of the 80's. The point was proven but the world just isn't ready. The irony is electric cars will never be the norm with fuelcell coming on, so it's a matter of too little too late.
Same with driverless cars. By the time we perfect the technology, we'll be transporting to work! Ala startrek.
