Just stick some kind of random number generating thing in the software and have the computer figure out who to kill based on chance, people accept things that are supposedly random more easily.
I guess the main way things like this could occur will be with non robocars or non robopeople jumping in their way or driving at them, they should kill those guys rather than swerve at an unsuspecting bystander. Other robocars will be communicating with the defective braked car and can avoid or help it.
