Advanced Airbag Deployment: The data enables Tesla to detect the type of crash within 10 milliseconds and deploy airbags optimally, considering the exact seat position and steering wheel position

Also, the crash data is used to create more accurate crash simulations, which goes directly into changes to the vehicle structure. Going off of what Sandy Munroe says about the rate of changes and improvments, this happens at the time scale of 1 or 2 months.
