This will require two separate aspects: a diplomatic aspect and a military aspect.
Spoiler: they’re both military aspects

If you like Tobai No. 1 then give Bushido Blade 1 and 2 a shot. Also published by Square, they’re weapon-based fighting games but with the unique mechanic that weapon damage is relatively realistic: a crucial blow/cut to a limb means the opponent can’t use it anymore, and instakills are possible by direct strikes to the chest or head.
The problem with the edge cases/humans cause errors too argument is that, yes humans make mistakes. However, assuming no impairment issues from drugs/alcohol/sleep deprivation, humans are pretty good at recognizing when they’ve made a mistake: “There’s headlights coming at me, I must’ve drifted into opposite traffic.” Computer programs, however, are not good at adjusting to novel situations; if the code doesn’t have an algorithm to deal with a situation or encounters a type of object it doesn’t have in its database, not only is it going to do a wrong thing, it’s not going to know it’s doing a wrong thing. It’s like the brooms from the Fantasia piece, if they don’t have the programming for reacting to a flooded room they’ll just keep piling water in.
Of course, the real answer here is build more public transit, eliminate stroads, and limit speeds to ~20 mph/30 km/h in places where pedestrians and cars have to interact. Tech bros would rather build ridiculous solutions than have to be around a poor person on the metro.
Can the loser’s company be seized and turned over to public control and ownership?
