☆ Tesla's Autopilot not to blame for a crash that killed a driver and left his wife and son badly injured, jury finds
  + stars: | 2023-11-01 | by ( Polly Thompson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A California jury found Tesla's Autopilot function did not cause a 2019 crash that killed a driver. Micah Lee's wife and son were seriously injured and sued Elon Musk's EV maker for $400 million-plus. AdvertisementAdvertisementTesla's Autopilot feature was not responsible for a 2019 crash that killed a driver and left two passengers seriously injured, a California jury ruled. Tesla denied its software was to blame and argued that the driver had consumed alcohol before getting behind the wheel. The EV maker also questioned whether Autopilot was in use at the time of the crash.

☆ Tesla wins first U.S. Autopilot trial involving fatal crash
  + stars: | 2023-10-31 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The jury verdict represents Tesla's second big win this year, in which juries have declined to find that its software was defective. The trial involved gruesome testimony about the passengers' injuries, and the plaintiffs asked the jury for $400 million plus punitive damages. The electric-vehicle maker also argued it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. During the trial in Riverside, an attorney for the plaintiffs showed jurors a 2017 internal Tesla safety analysis identifying "incorrect steering command" as a defect, involving an "excessive" steering wheel angle. The automaker subsequently engineered a system that prevents Autopilot from executing the turn which caused the crash.

The outcome in civil court shows Tesla arguments are gaining traction: when something goes wrong on the road, the ultimate responsibility rests with drivers. The electric-vehicle maker also argued it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. During the Riverside trial, an attorney for the plaintiffs showed jurors a 2017 internal Tesla safety analysis identifying "incorrect steering command" as a defect, involving an "excessive" steering wheel angle. The automaker subsequently engineered a system that prevents Autopilot from executing the turn which caused the crash. "I think that anyone is going to have a hard time beating Tesla in court on a liability claim," he said.

☆ Tesla Autopilot fatality case to soon reach California jury

A Tesla logo is seen outside a showroom of the carmaker in Beijing, China May 31, 2023. The jury trial, in a California state court, featured testimony from one Tesla employee about Autopilot that the company repeatedly asked to be kept hidden from the public. The lawsuit, filed against Tesla by the passengers, accuses the company of knowing that Autopilot and other safety systems were defective when it sold the car. The electric-vehicle maker also claims it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash. But plaintiff lawyers cited testimony from Tesla engineer Eloy Rubio Blanco, who acknowledged during the trial that Tesla understood software on the car could have latent defects.

☆ In Tesla trial over Autopilot fatality, lawyer cites 'experimental vehicles'
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
An attorney for Tesla , in the first U.S. trial over allegations that its Autopilot feature led to a death, however, said the crash was the result of "a classic human error." The lawsuit, filed against Tesla by the passengers and Lee's estate, accuses Tesla of knowing that Autopilot and other safety systems were defective when it sold the car. Tesla said its Autopilot driver assistant system is not designed to make a sharp turn on a highway, as it defended the system's safety. "The case is not about Autopilot," Michael Carey, an attorney for Tesla, said. The electric-vehicle maker also claims it was not clear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash.
