California Jury Exonerates Tesla In Autopilot Crash
A jury in California has cleared Tesla of responsibility for injuries caused to a driver when her Model S hit a curb while on Autopilot.In July 6, 2019, Justine Hsu of Los Angeles was driving a 2016 Model S on city streets using Autopilot. She alleged in a lawsuit brought against Tesla in 2020 that the car suddenly swerved to the right and hit a curb, which caused the driver’s airbag to deploy “so violently it fractured Plaintiff’s jaw, knocked out teeth, and caused nerve damage to her face.
On Friday, April 21, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of Tesla. After the trial ended, several jurors spoke withabout their decision. They said Tesla clearly warned drivers that the partially automated driving software was not a self-piloted system and that driver distraction was to blame for the accident.
Jury foreperson Olivia Apsher, 31, said the Autopilot system reminds drivers when they are not adequately taking control. “It’s your vehicle,” she said. “There are audible warnings and visual warnings both for the driver, indicating that it is your responsibility.” She said she would love to have Autopilot features in her own car but added, “The technology is something that’s assisting you and we want that message to be clear.
