This was bound to happen. Tesla's "cruise control" is not as advanced, and seemingly not sufficiently tested to autonomously trust it. And they state it that way, yet people start trusting the car which is the human thing to do. As stated by the guy involved in the accident: "when the car slows down correctly 1000 times, you trust it to do it the next time to. My bad.." Tesla is definitely driving a risky course here. As soon as there is a fatality or serious accident anywhere involving Tesla or another self-driving car, this will be mainstream news and likely lead to draconian laws. I wouldn't be surprised if self-driving cars would need to acquire a "self-driving license" or the like, similar to how cars need to adhere to emission standards.
