A Tesla owner wasn’t paying attention, blew speed limits by double, and then tried to argue in court that AI is to blame for any mistakes. The court disagreed.
The court said in its ruling that “it is in any case the defendant’s obligation to be aware of the speed limit at all times, and that it would be negligent to rely blindly on the car’s technical systems being correctly set. The court therefore finds it proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the defendant acted as described in the indictment, and that he at the very least acted with gross negligence. He is therefore convicted in accordance with the charges.
