As much as the XKCD comic downplays the threat, it is that small percentage that is more than enough of a problem. How do self-driving cars handle a life-threatening situation like this against its passengers?

Why should self-driving cars be designed for situations like “occupants need to defend themselves in Road Warrior-style attack” but not situations like “human intervention needed to stop car from endangering public” or “occupant in need of emergency medical assistance?”
