It doesn't have to be a moral judgement on behalf of the car -- after all it's just running a collision avoidance algorithm.
But the human designers of the "collision avoidance" algorithm will design it with moral judgements in mind. E.g. what to do when face recognition shows 10 kids in from of you and you have 1 passenger in the car that if you turn you'll avoid hitting them but risk his life.
