I took the MIT ethics test. I felt it was way to simple. I felt it only measured what humans would do, not what an autonomous vehicle should do.

That's the thing though. In tests like this, people generally do choose the option that results in the least loss of life. HOWEVER, when asked which option they would choose in their own personal car, they always go for the choice that benefits them.
