The self driving is bs anyway as it’s not going to be legal forever in the USA. And people kill exponentially more people than self driving software.

Yes this should be true, people killing more than self driving as there are sooooo many more people driving than self driving systems; like over well over 1 billion to a few 1 million or so? You need to look at the ratio of accidents per vehicle on the road..
If my hypothesis is correct about EMI causing self driving and EVs, especially, to glitch and go haywire, then the more self driving vehicles on the roads the greater the percent growth of them experiencing an accident. There will be variability based on the number of geomagnetic storms that occur. In general the accident ratio to vehicles on the road should increase at a faster rate than new cars being sold.

This doesnt have anything to do with first to market. Every year and model of Tesla experiences these SUA & sudden veer events that kill people caused by its technology glitching due to EMI! The problem will get worse as the earths magnetic field weakens further making cars that are more dependent on computer systems more dangerous than cars without.

The computer errors from outer space
(Elon Musk: Model S not a car but a ‘sophisticated computer on wheels’)

When computers go wrong, we tend to assume it's just some software hiccup, a bit of bad programming. But ionising radiation, including rays of protons blasted towards us by the sun, can also be the cause. These incidents, called single-event upsets, are rare and it can be impossible to be sure that cosmic rays were involved in a specific malfunction because they leave no trace behind them.

And yet they have been singled out as the possible culprits behind numerous extraordinary cases of computer failure. From a vote-counting machine that added thousands of non-existent votes to a candidate's tally, to a commercial airliner that suddenly dropped hundreds of feet mid-flight, injuring dozens of passengers

Plus, since giant ejections from the sun can sometimes send huge waves of particles towards Earth, what's called space weather, an unnerving prospect looms: we could see much more disruption to computers than we're used to during a massive geomagnetic storm in the future
