Tesla gained a victory in a lawsuit against its driver-assistance software on Tuesday. A California jury ruled that Tesla’s autopilot feature was not at fault for the crash that killed a Tesla driver and injured two passengers in 2019, according to a Reuters report. The lawsuit claimed Tesla’s driver-assistance software caused the Tesla Model 3 Micah Lee was driving to veer off a California highway and crash into a tree, engulfing itself in flames.
He also argued that it is unclear whether the autopilot feature was engaged at the time of the crash. Molander and her son’s attorney argued that Tesla was aware of a software defect that could cause the car to veer without notice and despite human intervention, but the company claimed the software wasn’t capable of veering the car as suddenly as it had in the accident.
