My thoughts:

I wonder if you'd be able to allow the user to set a parameter that defines this behavior? Obviously you can't account for the innumerable scenarios that the car is going to face, but you could still decide the degree of self-sacrifice you're willing to make. The car can be self-driving, but it seems like this would be a good way to preserve the autonomy of the user through the automation.
