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

I don't think these questions are very sensible.
If you're deciding how to program the car based on this incident then surely program the car to not go very fast around corners with hazardous cliff edges. So fast that in can't even stop for objects or people that might be in the road.
Either the car should be programmed that way, or the kid ran out in the road so fast that the car couldn't stop in which case the kid gets killed anyway whoever's driving or whatever is programmed into it.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
