Trolley dilemma (for some people, for some strange reason). The situation is, unfortunately, normalized structural violence.

"Look guys I just made up a dilemma to mock at people that don't exist"
- All petrol cars kill people and should be illegal
  
  All bathtubs can have enough water in them to drawn people and should be banned. (wot linda logic is that?!)
The argument being made is it is better to fuck up other people's cars than to allow them to kill us.
- Yes
  
  But the religiously motorized will do anything and everything in their power to remain obtuse to that argument.
How is this even a dilemma? Traffic engineers would never risk damage to a car to protect humans!
I think prisoner's dilemma is more relevant: society would overall be safer is everyone drove small cars, but individuals engage in an arm's race of bigger and bigger cars to make sure they're not the ones to die if an accident should occur
- That is one aspect, yes. The point here specifically is about choosing to* harm people in order to protect private property. This is related to what's called Structural violence.
