While Tesla screwed up the marketing on this product and failed to even ensure the driver is looking at the road at all times, I believe the black box approach (recover crash data from every incident and work it back into the product) is exceptionally powerful, as demonstrated in the airplane industry.
It use to be that whenever an accident like this happened, people shrugged their shoulders and blamed the victim, very damaging design flaws were being corrected statistically, after many wound up dead. We now have a corporation to blame, we internalize that the human drivers cannot be trusted and technology must take over and learn from each and every accident.
The safety advances this routine will bring forth cannot be overstated - and putting presure on Tesla and other manufacturers is the best way to get them.
