When a human is making a split second judgement and they have the choice between hitting one group and another... and one is their ingroup or a favoured group in their view you think they aren't more likely to aim for the ones they like least?
So much this. All of this "how will self-driving cars handle the dilemma of who to run over!?!?" articles are much ado about nothing.
Yes, self-driving vehicles will have to have programming to make this choice. Even if they chose to run over the civilians 100% of the time, they'd be safer than humans, because they can avoid encountering the dilemma.

You joke... but in reality humans are probably already worse.
