Car occupants have to choose to turn on self driving mode, or at least choose to buy a self driving car. If allowing the cars to prioritise the safety of occupants reduces the amount of manual driving that goes on, then it may actually make everyone else safer than if "prioritise the safety of others" was compulsory.
For now, I think, self driving car uptake is the most important thing. Maybe much later there should be something like "if you have your car in selfish mode then your legal liability in a crash is greater, therefore so are your insurance premiums".
