Researchers at MIT have put together a pictorial survey http://moralmachine.mit.edu/ -- if the self-driving car loses its brakes, should it go straight or turn? Various scenarios are presented with either occupants or pedestrians dying, and there are a variety of peds in the road from strollers to thieves, even pets.
This AC found that I quickly began to develop my own simplistic criteria and the decisions got easier the further I went in the survey.
While the survey is very much idealized, it may have just enough complexity to give some useful results?

And why should you decide how resources are allocated? Why should any of you unimportant idiots decide anything?
Elong Musky wants to plant his seed on Mars. He could do it today if only the rest of you greedy insignificant fools would stop allocating resources to yourselves. Stop impeding Musky!
