Comment on Tesla wins first U.S. Autopilot trial involving fatal crash

Tesla will win the rest also. The only “defect” I can think of is if it failed to disengage when driver input was detected.
The only guy in the car died, so what makes the complainants think that it was even engaged or especially that it failed?

This just reeks of family members looking for an opportunity to exploit their loss for a payday.

Just remember your own anecdotal experience does not signify what is the truth. Your statement that Tesla will win the rest is very clearly biased.

As an example, I’ve never been hit by a car while cycling to work. Does that mean cycling to work is 100% safe? Clearly not, but from my viewpoint it is.

  I don’t have any did not refer to any anecdotal experience, nor would I, so I’ve no idea what you’re on about.

  …based on what? My anecdotal experience? My statement is based on simple logic:
  
  drivers are supposed to be attentive at all times so even if it failed, that’s the fault of the driver for not being attentive, unless, as I said, the system failed to disengage somehow.
  
  There’s absolutely no way they could have known that it was on autopilot at the time.

Still a good thing to test shit in court, no?

    Courts are for investigating legitimate causes of harm, dawg.
