Tesla Prevails in One of First Trials Over Autopilot’s Role in a Fatal Crash

Tesla has prevailed in one of the first U.S. trials over the involvement of its Autopilot system in a fatal crash.

A Southern California jury on Tuesday found there wasn’t a manufacturing defect in the advanced driver-assistance system of a Tesla that veered off an interstate and hit a tree outside of Los Angeles in 2019. The driver ultimately died of injuries suffered in the crash.
