The crux of the issue will be that autonomous capabilities will/have made cars overall safer. Tesla will be able to cite data and circumstances where the safety features saved lives, and likely more times than lives were lost.
The problem is that the lives that are lost when the safety features fail are different lives than would have been lost without it at all. The families of those killed in this manner will have their day in court.

It would be great if Tesla would share such data, however their safety report is only a couple sentences [1] and Musk just recently refused to share more safety data because it would allow people to "turn a positive into a negative" [2] [1] https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqvatzjHGyk&t=47m17s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqvatzjHGyk&t=47m17s
