Tesla wins Autopilot trial involving fatal crash

Economic Times · 1y

Tesla has won its first U.S. trial over claims that its Autopilot driver-assist feature was responsible for a death. The jury found that there was no manufacturing defect in the system, and the crash was likely caused by human error. The case was filed by passengers involved in a 2019 crash who accused Tesla of knowing Autopilot was defective when it sold the car. Tesla denied liability, stating that the driver had consumed alcohol and that it was unclear whether Autopilot was engaged at the time of the crash.
