"In a right to repair/modify wouldn't a lot of people pay to have the algorithm changed for their car to always favor the people in the car no matter what?"

Yeah, but once you take humans out of the equation, it's possible to fix this.

Obviously, not everyone agrees that this is a problem that needs to be fixed - that's where the debate is.

Realistically no. Human drivers react based on instict often on a subconscious level where they don't have time to think about all the possible outcomes.
