Respectfully disagree. In a region of inevitable collision, the car's first priority should be to reduce its kinetic energy to zero.
If you take that dictum, then any action which requires activation energy (e.g. steering, or accelerating to avoid something) is unavailable, and as a result, the vast majority of these ethical decisions are completely moot.
