Tesla is facing legal challenges over the capabilities of its Autopilot system following a fatal crash. Lawyers argue for punitive damages, while investigations by NHTSA and NTSB are ongoing. The industry may need to reassess advanced driver-assistance systems.
Tesla’s/Musk’s faked 2016 presentation of Tesla autonomous capabilities led to the false robotaxi claims of 2019 which led to the latest “blow your mind” 2024 FSD v12 autonowashing release. When will the deceit and the fraud end? Is there no oversight? @NHTSAgov @Ctr4AutoSafety
Promises about the imminent resolution of hallucinations are going to be the 2024 (and 2025 and maybe 2026 and 2027) version of the promises Elon Musk (et al) made about driverless cars for much of the last decade. https://t.co/qoGAAAOIJf https://t.co/w3CYTrXkvR
The NHTSA has opened dozens of investigations into Tesla’s Full Self-Driving system after it was found to be in use during deadly crashes. https://t.co/F0TVz7Bs8y
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have opened probes into the crash that left one driver dead on Feb. 24. https://t.co/F0TVz7Bs8y
An upcoming California trial seeking to hold Tesla accountable for the death of a driver who had been playing games on his phone while his vehicle was in Autopilot may force the industry to recalibrate its approach to advanced driver-assistance systems. https://t.co/ecxHbHB8tU https://t.co/NiEtWon9LZ
Elon Musk’s Tesla should be liable for punitive damages for allegedly misstating the capabilities of its electric vehicles’ Autopilot system, lawyers for a victim of a fatal crash told a Florida appeals court @MikeScarcella https://t.co/xTp2xdd6X8 https://t.co/ozIf7iQfze
