The EU is regulated more by regulators. They will take some time to investigate issues and shut down the perpetrators.

The US has this "anyone can sue anyone at anytime for crazy damages" system. I'd expect any issue to quickly be brought to court and make an example out of them.

Last but not least, after the first death related to a self driving car, the second death will be on the journalists fighting for the coverage.

The first death already happened with a tesla.

That was in a level 2 system, in which the driver is required to constantly pay attention. Many companies have shipped level 2 systems, and that one death is not the only one.
