I had a shiur a couple of years ago on a serious question re:self-driving cars. The car will have an algorithm dealing with sakana nefashos situations, such as having a choice whom to hit. What if the algorithm is against halakha, then by agreeing to drive it, you sign up to doing a wrong thing. One can imagine the algorithm not just choosing to turn into someone instead of doing nothing as halakha requires when there is such a choice, but, say, doing face recognition and checking who has insurance and who has family to sue and choosing the best option from the damages point of view.
