It definitely has the potential. This quote is in the article:
> Lopez’s family, in court documents, alleges that the car “suddenly and unintentionally accelerated to an excessive, unsafe and uncontrollable speed.” Nieves-Lopez’s family further asserts that Riad was an unsafe driver, with multiple moving infractions on his record, and couldn’t handle the high-performance Tesla.
Are they suggesting that Tesla should have known and therefore should not have allowed the vehicle to be on autopilot or to drive at such high speeds? That's a HUGE claim. Tesla collects a lot of data, and they analyze the data. I don't think that this is disputed, but have they now accepted liability for allowing the car to operate at full capability with the knowledge that he's a bad driver? That would be a major blow, and would reverberate throughout the entire industry.
You are very right - this could be really interesting.
