This hasn't happened for other transportation methods so I don't see why cars should be different.
Early planes crashed more often than not and even today we get at least one huge crash per year, highly covered by media but no one suggests that we should ban planes even after they were used on 9/11 to destroy twin towers.
Busses crash, trains get derailed etc.
I think you're painting humanity with overly pessimistic brush as if reacting in the worst possible way is the only way can possibly react.
A vision for a safer, more efficient transportation is very compelling and something that many people and plenty of media will get behind and advocate.
