Should your driverless car KILL you to save pedestrians?

Suppose that a driverless car is headed towards five pedestrians. It can stay on course and kill them or swerve into a concrete wall, killing its passenger. This ethical dilemma is a difficult one - and it appears that people cannot decide which outcome is better. New research shows that people generally approve of cars programmed to sacrifice their passengers to save others, but these same people would not want to be in the car themselves. Self-driving cars are expected to usher in a new era of mobility, safety and convenience.
