Thing is, it wasn't just one incident, it was just one incident that resulted in a death.

When Ubers started self-driving it took just a few hours before there were videos on twitter and youtube of them driving right though red lights without a care in the world.

Uber: 1 death and halted the program

Tesla: many deaths, no halt, no improvement in the program. See: phantom braking

Let's not give them too much credit here. I think Uber's halt had more to do with Uber's change in CEO and the indictment of the guy who ran their self-driving car program. Plus the fact that it was a giant money sink with no short-term return being run in a company that has never been profitable and can no longer raise infinite investor money.
