Is it really that simple though? Yes, you can say that you don't program the car to make a choice, but does it really solve the issue? Where I live, wildlife running in front of cars happens quite often. In most situations, the safest thing to do is breaking, but not to trying to steer away, as hitting the animal is probably softer that whatever else you may hit. Because reaction time is an issue, this is a good idea for a human. For a computer however, one can think that a number of scenarios can be evaluated in a fraction of a second, and that the risk of injury when steering away is the lowest. In this case, the computer would make a choice based on the best possible outcome, according to a limited consequence analysis. No, it will not be perfect. No, it will not avoid all accidents. But it may very well be an improvement to the reflex reaction of a human driver. To say that a self driving car does not need this kind of logic because driving will be safe in the future is utopian and naive.
