For the sake of everyone on this planet, I surely hope they do. But living in Europe, and reading something like that in 2014, it will be VERY difficult to change my mind and ignore so many other car producers with (far better) safety record for a Tata. I would prefer to buy a used 2010 VW Golf for e.g. $3k than a brand new Tata for $3k.

Either way, I am very interested (as I believe we all are) to see how all gas/petrol cars will be replaced by electric in the next 20 years. And with the rise of technology, sensors, self-driving and other functionalities (e.g. cars tracking one-another in real time) we will care 'less' for crash-related safety, if we see that crashes are drastically reduced.

Then we can have lighter and faster cars, with more comfort.
