It gets really interesting when you think about the clash of corporate greed in this area. It’s not hard to imagine car companies selling you a premium option (or worse, subscriptions) where the car will make decisions prioritizing your life and safety over people outside, even if it’s multiple people who would get maimed or killed to keep the driver safe.
At least I’d hope that they informed the driver/car owner about the AI system in their car and - if it so is - that The AI could decide against their life.
Then they “just” need to decide is it worth it to get such a car with such an AI system or not.
Not telling them that their car has such an AI would be unethical, to say the least.
Radiolab did a great episode on this very topic.

Sure. Buried in some cryptic legalese in paragraph 3 on page 400 in 1 of 8 different EULAs that the car owner had to accept when first buying the car.
Not made easy 😬
