Tesla Motors should never have called it "Autopilot." Tesla sued by family of motorcyclist killed in Autopilot crash
The parents of a motorcyclist who was killed in a 2022 crash involving a Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot in Utah sued the electric carmaker and the vehicle's driver, claiming that the driver assistant software and other safety features are "defective and inadequate."
Landon Embry, 34, died on the scene after the Model 3 put on Autopilot at 75-80 miles per hour struck the back of his Harley Davidson motorcycle, throwing him from the bike, according to the lawsuit filed in state court in Salt Lake City last week
"Move fast and break stuff" was the tech motto a few years back. And that's fine if you're making the next version of Angry Birds, but if people can die, then that is a bad way to do business.
I don't think Tesla will suffer, because the driver will be held responsible.
