The trolley problem is much ado about nothing. Or nerd-sniping for ethicists. The vehicle could be set to maximize harm in case of an accident and still perform better than the average human driver by creating fewer accidents in the first place.
So if you want to optimize for human lives then don't worry about the trolley problem, instead consider how you can get sufficiently good autopilots into as many hands as possible as soon as possible.
