Did Tesla and Elon Musk Ignore Fatal Flaws in Autopilot System?

  • A Florida judge, Reid Scott, ruled there's 'reasonable evidence' that Tesla and Elon Musk knew about defects in the Autopilot system.
  • The lawsuit was filed by Kim Banner, whose husband died in a crash involving a Tesla Model 3's Autopilot.
  • Court documents revealed that Tesla engineers admitted no updates were made to the system after similar fatal crashes.
  • The National Transportation Safety Board reported that neither the Autopilot nor the driver took action to avoid the crash.
  • The judge's ruling allows for the possibility of punitive damages against Tesla as the trial proceeds.
