Now change it to a cat or dog in the road. Same question. Lots of people crash from swerving trying to not hit a squirrel. How does the car decide those things?

This is like the old morality question... Lets say you're in a car with no brakes. There is a woman with a baby in your path - and on the sidewalk a man.
You can swerve onto the sidewalk and miss the woman and baby, but then you kill the guy. However in this case - you have actively chosen to kill him - vs. doing nothing and killing the mother and child.
What do you do?
