/s, right?
If not officialy I'm sure there will be unofficial path to do this.

So when humans mount horses and go into the woods to hunt as entertainment, they are not superior either?
op meant superior to us. we are relative superior to foxes - who hunt for necessity, superior to us might not hunt at all i agree btw i am not worried that a superior dreadful AI will come to kill humanity, but that some little half-assed AI in charge of some minor side activity will not be capable of understand context beyond it's own complexity.
Self-driving cars are likely to be safer than human drivers anyway, so one has to consider how much risk there is of a situation like the Trolley Problem arising - i.e. not much.
It's an interesting thought experiment, but I think a real situation with such a stark binary choice is so improbable that it's barely worth considering. Cars are not on trolley tracks and computers can brake or swerve harder and faster than any human could.

hmm... perhaps "the default" should be programmed maximize human life as a headcount. But maybe they could sell a pricey "upgrade option" that would cause the computer to favor preserving the life of the driver as top priority. The proceeds from these upgrade options could then go into pay-outs for the families of people killed by drivers with this option enabled?

don't program it to swerve in any direction, brakes and tires should do the trick.
If people become aware enough of this, the answer is almost certainly that cars will choose the life of their passengers in any situation, unless manufacturers will agree not to compete on this.
I (perhaps somewhat naively) assumed that a self-driving car would be programmed to prioritise the occupants of the vehicle (as that most closely emulates the likely reactions of a human driver in that situation). Self-driving cars are likely to be safer than human drivers anyway, so one has to consider how much risk there is of a situation like the Trolley Problem arising - i.e. not much.

Computer may have the same intelligence as human, but their fundamental inner drive will be completely different. Human like any other animal has a deep genetically programmed drive: survive and reproduce. Hunting as entertainment, for example, is actually practicing for survival - all hunting animals do that. This deep drive is the result of evolution. AI on the other hand has a completely different evolution proces…
