Allegations of Tesla concealing information in lawsuit over fatal crash
A trial by jury is set to commence next week in a legal challenge against Tesla's Autopilot feature, which alleges safety concerns and misleading marketing. The case also involves a claim, denied by Tesla, that the company concealed information related to a fatal 2019 crash involving Autopilot. The collision resulted in the death of Naibel Benavides Leon and severe injuries to her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. The lawsuit asserts that Tesla encouraged drivers to overly rely on Autopilot, a claim disputed by the company. Amidst these legal proceedings, new court files have unveiled allegations that Tesla attempted to conceal crucial data related to the crash, an allegation the company denies. The trial, scheduled to start on Monday July 14 and anticipated to last up to three weeks, could result in punitive damages against Tesla. Any decision against Tesla would be significant for CEO Elon Musk, who is pushing forward with plans for autonomous taxis as federal regulators investigate the company's self-driving technologies.
