This is foolish. The real answer is the car will just stop, because it's response time and control will be way beyond human capabilities. So neither dies.
The odds of this being a real scenario are nearly non-existent.

yeah, because it's not possible the events transpire outside the range of capability for the car to stop even when assuming reaction time = 0.
Also, people forget that the car does not see "potential", it only sees the actual. A human driver sees the family parked off the side of the road with little kids playing and recognizes the potential for something, and thus attention is primed, speed likely slows, and so forth. This is normal human behavior. I realize it's not evidenced 100% of the time, but it is normal behavior. It is not currently part of machine capability. It's unlikely to become part of the capability suite anytime soon.

Perhaps. So it won't be programmed into the car to begin with, so then when it does happen (and it will), the outcome will be worse than it should have been.

I don't know why it would be such a non-existent issue.
