I have an answer to that in the form of a short story (100-word drabble):
Trolley Problem Insurance
Joe rode home with his family, wife in front, and kids playing video games. He had purchased a fully self-automated automobile, capable of errands like picking up curbside groceries.
An angry mob of rioters surrounded the car and pounded on it.
“Everyone brace for impact!” Joe grabbed a handle.
The car self-accelerated, driving through the crowd—bodies flung up top while the car bounced, swerved, and tilted.
Joe’s wife, Mary, said, “Joe, we’re getting in so much trouble!”
“Don’t worry, dear. I went for the supplementary Trolley Problem insurance. Legal protection, medical, and life insurance coverage for these exact situations.”
