This is why self-driving cars will feel more dangerous, even if statistically they are safer. I wouldn't much feel better if in the moments before my car drives into concrete barrier, after having determined impact is inevitable, it informs me that while it might have failed me and I will die, that statistically it has saved 10 other theoretical people.
If I had to guess, the decision will always be to protect the occupants of the car over everything else. No one is going to buy a car that will kill you to save others.
That's not what I was saying. That a car is statistically more safe is not comforting when it kills you in a way you would have easily avoided had you been driving.
