How can that be overcome?

Might be able to calculate the chances of occupent survivabl based on velocity and impact location. Avoid kid and crash into wall at 25mph may have a high percentage of survival for all. Id trust the computer to make that decision. All of us would swerve to avoid the kid instinctly anyway perhaps without realizing our surroundings. The computer will have already detected where to swerve and that pole none of us saw.
