Trial opens over fatal crash involving Tesla's autopilot.
Tesla is facing a trial in Miami over a tragic accident involving its autopilot system, marking a significant legal milestone for transportation technology. The case involves a fatal crash in April 2019, where Naibel Benavides lost her life and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, was seriously injured. The suit alleges that the Tesla Model S sedan's autopilot was defective and failed to prevent the accident. Though Tesla argues that the autopilot feature was not fully activated at the time, the plaintiffs claim that Tesla's safety features should have detected and prevented the crash. The trial will involve testimony from Tesla Autopilot engineers to determine liability. This case highlights ongoing concerns about the safety and readiness of autonomous driving technology, with experts cautioning against premature claims of its effectiveness. Tesla's autopilot technology and its claims regarding safety have drawn scrutiny, with the company facing criticism for its handling of safety data and incidents involving its vehicles.
