There's a pretty good spanish film named Intacto that has something like this as it's premise: people who survive disasters have "luck" that can be captured/transferred by other people by playing games like russian roulette.
And we haven't even gotten onto the ethics of - in a bad situation - choosing whether to sacrifice the passenger or another road user.
Would you buy a car that throws you over a cliff to avoid ploughing through 20 kids running stupidly onto the road?
I mean, in theory the autonomous driving will be good enough to protect both. But a similar scenario will come up somewhere/sometime and what is the correct answer? What do you program the car to do?
Aside: Will walking into traffic become the next train surfing thrillseeking? (PS: Movie reference, Intacto.)
Intacto is a Spanish film about people who can steal other people's luck.

Primer is on here a bunch, but really worth watching if you like time travel conundrums.
Here is one that I was hoping it would work for: http://clerkdogs.com/movies/51923-intacto-2002/matches
Obscure, but that's kind of the point with this sort of app
On a sidenote: You can definitely resolve the speed issues people are talking / complaining about by pre-computing and storing everything, instead of doing it on the fly
