Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time::The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
Same as it ever was Kill a Pedestrian, Pay a $500 Fine

Tesla has to get more punishment than NOTHING. This sucks

Yeah, judging by the article, Tesla should take some responsibility here. Not that the driver should get off, if your car is blowing a red light at 120km/h you’re just not paying proper attention.

Sure, I’d prefer to know more exactly the time between. Was it 2 seconds or 25? But my premise is this shouldn’t happen in the software. I know I read some time ago that Teslas had shut off the software moments before collision, no time to save it, but I’d have to double check that. All to blame the customer
Automakers should not be allowed to use the unsuspecting public as toys for their experimental software, it quickly becomes a 1-4 ton death machine, but I think we agree on that.

Sounds like a convenient excuse by the driver who ran a red light.

Suing Tesla seems a little dumb to me. Sue the DMV that’s giving people like this licenses
