""The evidence clearly shows that this crash had nothing to do with Tesla's Autopilot technology. Instead, like so many unfortunate accidents since cellphones were invented, this was caused by a distracted driver.""
""A reasonable jury could find that Tesla acted in reckless disregard of human life for the sake of developing their product and maximizing profit.""
A trial in Miami will determine Tesla's liability in a fatal crash from April 2019 that left a university student dead. The plaintiff's attorneys argue that Tesla's Autopilot should have intervened during the incident, while Tesla claims the driver was at fault for being distracted by a cellphone. The case is notable as a jury trial against Tesla is rare, and a recent ruling allows for punitive damages, indicating potential financial implications for the company. Tesla's public perception regarding self-driving technology is at stake during the trial.
