In my opinion, the car should choose the option such as to minimize damage for the person doing the correct thing. If someone walks out into oncoming traffic then there are consequences involved. However, if the car made a miscalculation then there is not much corrective action that can be done since it has already misjudged the situation and thus its world view is no longer reliable. It's impossible to say whether any corrective action the car makes will actually improve the situation since clearly objects are not what/where it thought they were.
If it was my car I'd certainly prefer it to save my life over strangers, who'd buy a car knowing that at the first sign of trouble it'd ram you into a wall?!<p>MIT has an interesting simulator up, about the choices you'd make too <a href="http://moralmachine.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://moralmachine.mit.edu/</a>
