A jury found in favor of Tesla in a lawsuit that argued that the company was liable for the death of Micah Lee, who’s Model 3 crashed into a tree while using Autopilot.
Tesla was found not to be liable for the death of a Model 3 owner who’s vehicle crashed while driving in Autopilot, a jury decided Tuesday. The case centered on a crash in California in 2019, in which a Tesla Model 3 veered off the road, crashing into a palm tree before catching fire. The crash killed the driver, 37-year-old Micah Lee, who was reportedly using Autpilot at the time of the incident.
Earlier this year, a jury ruled against plaintiff Justine Hsu, who sued Tesla after his vehicle hit a median while using Autopilot. The case brought by Lee’s family, however, was the first to center on a fatal crash involving Autopilot. And the result comes as Tesla finds itself under increased scrutiny from federal and state regulators around its partially autonomous technology. Tesla is under criminal investigation by the US Department of Justice for its self-driving features.
