Tesla is facing another Autopilot-related wrongful death suit.
The family of a motorcyclist killed by a Tesla Model 3 driver using Autopilot is suing the company for knowingly releasing “defective and inadequate” software, Reuters says. Its the latest in a growing volume of wrongful death suits targeting Tesla’s driver assist features. The company has fought some, settled others, so how it responds to this one remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, another motorcyclist was killed last April by a Tesla driver using Full Self-Driving.
