The correct action depends on the car's assessment of the quality of the information it has as well. The trolley problem type perfect information scenarios aren't really that realistic IMO.
There's suddenly a car/skip/wall/moose/child in the middle of the road where there wasn't one before, what should I do ? Was I wrong a second ago when I thought there was no moose nearby , or am I wrong to think that there is a moose now ? Is someone messing with me somehow ? The correct action has to be to conclude that my shit is all fucked up, stop trusting what I think I know and apply the brakes while holding my current line and hope for the best.
Also, if I think I'm in a very rare edge case, then statistically the odds are that I'm wrong.
