The Self-driving Car

Imagine this…

You are the programmer of a self driving car which is operating in your city as a taxi. It’s going at a reasonable speed on a road with 3 children and their mom inside.

Suddenly, a mother with a baby in a pram stops in the middle of the road. the self driving car has to choose between hitting the mom or swerving the car and crashing it, likely killing the occupants.

What should you program the car to do in such cases?
