there were cases where it would save the pedestrians/ cyclists and sacrifice the car and it’s passengers. The artificial intelligence was scanning and identifying each hazard and calculating the least worst option.
if I remember correctly, there was one situation where the only option was to hit two pensioners or hit a parent and child. The car chose to save the parent and child.
I’m sure they did lots of surveys putting people in the situation of choosing the the most favourable outcome, then used that info to rank the hazards.
