In a traffic emergency, there is no time for a human to integrate multiple sensor data streams and devise a plan for avoiding a collision. Only the electronic reflexes of a trained automatic system can provide evasive action in time. Disclosed is an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained to recognize an imminent collision based on sensor data, rapidly devise and test a large number of possible sequences of actions, some drawn from a library of previously-successful strategies and others invented by the AI model. If any sequence can avoid the collision, the AI model implements that sequence immediately. If none of the sequences can avoid the collision, the AI model calculates the harm caused by each sequence and picks the one that causes the least harm (fatalities, injuries, etc.) for implementation. AI is needed to find a possible solution in time to implement it and thereby mitigate the imminent collision.
