The problem is how Musk and Tesla have sold their self driving and full self driving and what ever name they call the next one.
Comment on Tesla loses Autopilot wrongful death case in $329 million verdict
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 week agoDid you read it tho? Tesla is at fault for this guy overriding the safety systems by pushing down on the accelerator and looking for his phone at the same time?
I do not agree with Tesla often. Their marketing is bullshit, their cars are low quality pieces of shit. But I don’t think they should be held liable for THIS idiot’s driving. They should still be held liable when Autopilot itself fucks up.

Should be a class action lawsuit by Tesla owners and damages in tens of billions rather than millions tbh. I’m just saying that this particular case can’t be seen as Tesla’s fault by anyone being objective.

On the face of it, I agree. But 12 jurors who heard the whole story, probably for days or weeks, disagree with that.

Maybe the 12 jurors just really hate Felon Husk and/or Tesla’s lawyers.
