Probably, you didn't know he wanted to die, so you've killed someone, not assisted with a suicide.
On the other hand, if it was your partner, who had gone to shrinks, been evaluated as sane, and had expressed a desire to be killed by you, by your car, to end their suffering (and lets go so far as to say that your partner is bed ridden, 2 months to live that will be spent in horrendous agony sick), then the morality of your thought experiment becomes far more ambiguous.
Hell, let's just legalise Nembutal, available only with multiple referrals from GPs, specialists and psychiatrists and say it's still not OK to hit someone with your car. I'm struggling to see the moral ambiguity there, unless you're a crank who takes things in the bible, as interpreted by your personal minister and the tradition in which they were trained, as the word of god or some crap
