I'd say these aren't simple systems.

The "kill the pedestrian, not me" example is brought up... but what is a real life situation wherein the only two choices in retrospective was 'die' or kill a pedestrian?

Most of the time, you'll avoid killing a pedestrian and it'll result in non-critical injuries to you due to airbags and other safety features. Or it'll result in a dodge or just car damage, since the other cars are more prepared to react to you than a hobbled pedestrian carrying groceries is.

I think often times the car will 'choose' to risk injury you rather than absolutely a pedestrian.
