What’s Tesla’s exposure here - do they disclaim liability for a failure like this?
Edit: Assuming this was software diver assist issue
- aldarisbm 5y agowe literally have zero idea if its even the Tesla's software fault.
- _uy6i 5y agoAgreed - edited to include my assumption
- detaro 5y agoI don't think they can do that for assist features like this triggering falsely, assuming that's what happened here too. For it not reacting to something there's always the line of "it's an assistance feature, marketing aside we tell you clearly it's an assistance feature and you need to pay attention and react yourself if needed", but that doesn't work for emergency braking triggering randomly, since there's nothing the driver could've done "correctly" to prevent it?
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoI believe all car manufacturers have a clause for liability in case of e.g. mechanical breakdowns (if that is the case here), if not the car companies would be sued out of existence a long time ago. Cars break down regularly, new or old, and sometimes in a dangerous situation.
- _uy6i 5y agoBut I would think that only relates to mechanical breakdowns due to normal wear and tear or lack of proper maintenance? Wouldn’t a manufacturer have responsibility if the breaks failed at high speed the day I drove my new car off the lot?
