When Starship explodes: "this was a success, we learnt a lot along the way".
This is the same here, yes there is an accident, but at the end this was a success because:
1) The accident didn't happen, so the safety measures worked (the "human driver").
2) Once the fix is deployed, if you look in the long run, over 100 years, it won't happen again, so potentially hundreds of saved lives.
And Tesla can claim: "Hey this is the driver's fault anyway".
Main difference between SpaceX and Tesla is that it is the user paying at the end of the day.
