The family of the man is accusing Tesla of failures and false promises of its autonomous driving system.
The family of a man killed last year while driving his Tesla, which crashed into a barrier on U.S. Highway 101 in Mountain View, Calif., is suing the automaker. By Faiz Siddiqui Faiz Siddiqui San Francisco-based tech reporter covering automation and the future of transportation, including Tesla, Uber and Lyft Email Bio Follow May 1 at 8:00 AM SAN FRANCISCO — The family of a man killed in a fiery wreck last year while driving his Tesla along U.S.
“Mrs. Huang lost her husband, and two children lost their father because Tesla is beta testing its Autopilot software on live drivers,” B. Mark Fong, a partner at Minami Tamaki LLP, one of the firms representing the family, said in a statement. “The Huang family wants to help prevent this tragedy from happening to other drivers using Tesla vehicles or any semi-autonomous vehicles.
Tesla has said in the past that navigation is unrelated to Autopilot, and the company only introduced a feature known as “navigate on Autopilot” in October 2018, well after the crash.
