crashes happen for reasons besides memory safety. web-engines are crazy complicated pieces of software and crashes could happen for any number of reasons. also I would be shocked if this was written using purely safe rust

Pretty much agree but may I also add that Santa Clara County would probably not allow Stanford to increase its student body by any real sizeable amount due to restrictions in traffic, building, parking, etc, etc.

This seems like a failure mode where LIDAR wouldn't have helped. A completely flat and mostly empty road where the only real features are lane lines seems to be entirely a vision issue. Not really an excuse for tesla considering vision should be what they are good at, but the whole LIDAR issue seems to be overemphasized.
