My father avoided the identical collision (left turn into his lane) by rolling his pickup into the ditch — and spending two months in the hospital. Since the vehicles never touched, her insurance company refused to pay up.

So the autonomous cars should go for a glancing blow without bodily injury, to establish legal facts.

Heck, they should continually calculate all potential multi-car chain reaction collisions. ....because of the 'trolley problem'.
