They're engaged in a standard PR / argument technique of whataboutism. When facing negative PR, you blather about something else positive. One reason is that you're pushing the positive info into people's brains even if they know what you're doing, and the second: there are tons of morons who will happily eat the "this random positive thing offsets or excuses the negative thing."
"Your cars aren't stopping for police pulling them over for traffic violations, and even driving off from officers who have no idea what to do because regulators are firmly in the industry's pocket and not requiring firms offer solid ways for first responders to command these vehicle's control systems, or at least committing to having a human supervisor available to quickly take remote control of the vehicle and move it."
PR response: "but what about all those crashes human drivers get into that we don't?"
...which doesn't change the fact that we have vehicles running around that are almost completely free from policing.
