This is called the "trolley problem". Here's a good read about that: https://backchannel.com/reinventing-the-trolley-problem-85f3... TLDR: such a scenario will NOT happen. A computer is not likely at all to find itself in such a situation. My opinion: study of such scenario is there just to give more confidence into self driving cars. Just to show people "See? We thought hard about this. Trust autonomous vehicules".
