IMO, I think this may actually not be true. Due to Tesla's popularity, and the amount of investors that have stated that they were shorting TSLA, I do think that media have a tendency to report more news about such accidents just because a Tesla was involved. If a Tesla crashes somewhere, the first question probably is "Was Autopilot enabled?", while with most other car crashes, it's just a car crash.
So I don't think that lack of news about other cars with TACC means that they don't suffer from similar issues. (TBH I wouldn't be able to name any other cars with such an advanced TACC either).
