Given the car is just prioritizing avoiding/softening collisions, and for some reason the rider can set any sort of preferences around that(?), it is *still* unreasonable to expect anything less than a massive increase in fatalities avoided entirely. This is not a trolley problem

A situation in which (a) you have time to make a reasonable judgment + (b) but the car somehow *doesn't* have time to act to eliminate fatalities altogether + (c) you somehow have the same info inputs as the car + (d) the car doesn't act in a way you like = not the real world.
