I am pretty familiar with the accident. The speed limit is not irrelevant; the question should not be "did the car behave as a perfect human driver would have?" It should be "was the eventual outcome better than what a human driver would have achieved in the same situation?" It's not actually clear that a human driver would have done better, and given that the human driver in this incident did a hit-and-run and still hasn't been caught, assuming that is... questionable. The safety record of these cars is actually quite good when you consider the environment and times of day they operate in.
