Tesla is going to trial over a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of Walter Huang. The family alleges that flaws in Tesla's Autopilot system caused the 2018 crash that killed Huang. Walter Huang's Tesla Model X crashed in March 2018 in Mountain View, California. Days after the fatal crash, Tesla said in a blog post that Huang "received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive." Tesla also wants to call the engineer to testify during the trial, but Huang's family opposes it.

A Tesla engineer said a car crashed into a fence while filming a video promoting self-driving, Reuters reported. Elon Musk promoted the 2016 video as an example of a Tesla "driving itself" at the time. The engineer said that the car crashed into the fence while trying to park itself. In 2016, the electric-car maker announced its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software as an enhancement to Autopilot using the video "Full Self-Driving Hardware on All Teslas" to promote its capabilities. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Autopilot and its potential connection to several accidents.
