With a self driving car you know exactly what happened in an accident as video and telemetry is recorded. This is a tremendous advantage over having to reconstruct it without this data.
On the contrary I expect legislation forcing every car to include telemetry like the Chinese are forcing every car to be connected.
This accident's data is evidence, not opinion, not a belief, not a prejudice.
The usefulness of this has already been proven with airplanes.
