This philosophical stuff is all very interesting.  But...

What I want to know (and probably most customers) is can, I choose
a car configuration option that considers my life to be more important
than everybody else's?  Or are the government going to mandate that
the software treat the life of everybody equally?

As a human driver I have the option, given enough thinking time and
fast responses, of deciding whose life is worth more.
