The big choice NHTSA has to make is when to investigate and what counts as a fault of system design failure/operation failure and when that will result in a safe/unsafe recall situation. Case one car encounters situation it should be able to respond to and doesn't would need an in depth investigation whereas case 2 car encounters a new situation cant handle would need a more theoretical analysis on should car be able to handle that or is it safe to continue . i.e baby in road car should handle but they train model to ignore things like plastic cups/ plastic bags or any other "safe" road debris. but should it magically handle baby inside a plastic bag on the road. NHTSA will have to at some point make those calls on it will never be perfect but where is the line of good enough
