A California jury ruled Tesla's Autopilot was not to blame in a crash that killed 37-year-old Micah Lee in 2019 and severely injured his two passengers. The lawsuit blamed a defect in the system that allegedly caused the vehicle to swerve off the highway.
A California jury has found that Tesla was not at fault for a fatal 2019 crash that allegedly involved its Autopilot system, in the first US trial yet for a case claiming its software directly caused a death.
Tesla’s defense argued that there was no such defect, and that an analysis cited by the plaintiffs’ lawyers identifying a steering issue was actually looking for problems that were theoretically possible. A fix to prevent it from ever happening was engineered as a result of that analysis, according to the company.
