How would you write software to handle this scenario:
Autonomous car "A" is driving on a two lane road with two passengers.
Autonomous car "B" is driving in the opposite direction with four passengers.
Three pedestrians are crossing the road and are in the middle of the lane of car "A".
Should car "A" continue toward the 3 pedestrians where it is almost certain to hit them and kill them, but car "A" will avoid a head-on collision of car "B with four passengers?
or
Should car "A" avoid the 3 pedestrians and collide with car "B" and risk killing all four passengers in car "B" as well as both passengers in car "A"?
