This shouldn't be that difficult from legal perspective. Since you don't have the authority to kill someone, you can't choose who to kill.

Any action other than avoiding collateral altogether might be punishable.

As a side-note, nobody is going to buy a car that prefers to kill it's owner

What if that setting were tied to your risk threshold? Eg, you could set the car to drive very conservatively (respect speed limits, slow in dangerous conditions or areas) and it would prioritize your safety over all else, or to be a bit more reckless, but prioritize your safety less. That way you're making an explicit choice that you accept the personal risk in order to get to your destination faster, but you can't offload that risk on other people.

I think reckless driving options would do poorly, offering the option to casually go over the speedlimit would be quite a burden on the manufacturer.

There also aren't many situations where your safety isn't tied to others around you
