AI would be dangerous!

I believe it was a film that looked at the ethical issues of AI. For example, take driver avoidance of an accident. A person walks in front of you on a busy street. It's too late to brake. You could swerve right, but you'd jump the curb and run over people on the sidewalk. If you go left, you crash into a car full of children and might knock them into oncoming traffic causing a head on collision. So the AI program deems the least undesirable option is to just run over the pedestrian.

For freeway driving, auto-pilot would be nice though I doubt that I'd ever truly trust it.
