For those confused by the headline here: the trial is of the driver of the car. It's a routine vehicular manslaughter case. The involvement of Tesla is only that "the car was on AP so it's not my fault" is being (presumably) attempted as a defense.
- glitchc 4y agoNo one’s confused. From a technology perspective, the Autopilot was driving the car at the time of the crash. From a legal perspective, a human is always in charge of driving the car. It’s time Tesla claims were tested in court. No other manufacturer makes such grandiose claims, yet their systems are at par with what a Tesla can do.
