Tesla Autopilot Lawsuit Cites Design Defects After Deadly Head-on Crash

If only more people read this blog instead of believing whatever nonsense Elon Musk says… just think of the lives saved.

“Based on representations the Blaines heard made by Musk and Tesla… [they] believed [it] was a safer driver than a human driver of convention[al] vehicles,” the complaint states.

However, it contends, the deadly wreck was brought about by the car’s allegedly inadequate “Autosteer” function, a next-gen form of cruise control the company says “detects lane markings, road edges, and the presence of vehicles and objects to intelligently keep your vehicle in its driving lane.” The complaint also assigns blame to the Model X’s “Lane Departure Warning,” “Lane Keeping Assist,” “Lane Centering Assistance,” and “Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance” systems, contending they “defectively failed” to work as advertised.
