Maybe they just subscribe to an extreme utilitarian ethical philosophy?

If that is the context their analysis is bad.

There's little evidence that anything Tesla has deployed is an important step towards viable self driving vehicles.

They are apparently mapping the locations of odd situations, but that is pretty meh (and doesn't require the mapping system to be in control of the vehicle).

Well, if Tesla was a Japanese company and people died, ritual suicide would be the one of two possible options. The other is dishonor.
