Occasionally an autonomous vehicle unfortunately recognizes that an unavoidable accident is going to happen; yet the autonomous vehicle still has a number of possible options of accidents and it is still able to choose what the least harmful option is. A system for a real-time assessment of vehicle accident potential damages is presented in this paper. This system improves the vehicle's embedde...
