- userbinator 5y agoThat seems like it's more about how well the defroster should work, but says nothing about how it should be activated.
- ok123456 5y agoYes. The defroster is basic safety equipment. If your smoke detector manufacturer changed how the test button worked with an over the air update, and as a result you failed to correctly test it, who would be liable? Much in the same way, if someone cannot figure out how to use their defroster because a UX engineer decided to make it just so, the Tesla owner just drives off with a mostly iced up windshield because, and the Tesla owner gets into a crash because it's 7:00am on a cold winter Monday and they're running late, does Tesla share some liability for changing how basic safety equipment works?
- ncallaway 5y ago> does Tesla share some liability for changing how basic safety equipment works? If I was on the jury for that specific fact pattern, then it seems very likely that, yes, they would. Probably the lion's share of the liability too (though definitely not 100%).
