I don't know about that. "Conventional morality" is not a well-formed or a coherent system and there are a lot of situations where other factors would override minimizing loss of life.
What kind of things override loss of life and and can be widely agreed upon?
Going to war, for example.
Or consider involuntary organ harvesting.
In the self-driving car example, say "getting to your destination". Keep in mind that the mere act of the car getting out on the road increases the expected number of resulting deaths.
