Tesla convinced a jury in Riverside that its Autopilot technology wasn’t responsible for a crash that killed a California driver four years ago.
Tesla convinced a jury that its Autopilot technology wasn’t responsible for a crash that killed a California driver four years ago, vindicating the driver-assistance system that’s a core part of Elon Musk’s efforts to make his electric-car company stand out from rivals. Jurors in state court in Riverside on Tuesday sided with Tesla in the first lawsuit blaming a fatality on Autopilot to go to trial.
Company representatives and lawyers for Tesla and the plaintiffs didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. On the first day of trial in September, Tesla’s lawyers claimed “classic human error” caused the accident. They showed jurors a video clip of testimony by passenger Lindsay Molander, who recalled that Lee consumed a drink and she had some wine while they were having dinner in the Downtown Disney District in Anaheim earlier on the evening of the crash.
