The Verge · 1y

Tesla is reportedly seeking a settlement with the family of an Apple engineer who died in a crash while using Tesla's Autopilot system. Court documents indicate that the parties have reached an agreement but want the terms to remain confidential. The settlement, which is yet to be approved by a judge, follows allegations that both Autopilot and distracted driving were factors contributing to the crash. Tesla had planned to argue that the engineer was playing a game on his phone at the time, potentially involving Apple in the trial.
