content: This entire "1 occupant versus 50 schoolkids" stuff is ridiculous for any number of reasons.  Not the least of which that I expect a device that I purchase to prioritize me, and so does everyone else, including almost everyone that says they want all of these things to decide to kill you to save the kids.  Of course perhaps the most ludicrous thing is that they expect the car to be able to flawlessly identify and quantify who and what they're dealing with.  Those "kids" might not be kids.  They might be something that a bugged computer would identify as kids (e.g. actually pigeons), or in the case of another vehicle, the other car's computer could have been hacked to report that they're carrying a bunch of infants. Frankly I think the people who'd be killed by the car trying to make ridiculous judgments would outweigh the number of people saved no matter what the car's "judgment" system was calibrated towards.  Self-preservation not only brings in the cash, but it makes the system a lot more simple and reliable.
