A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that a 2020 lawsuit filed against resident Justine Hsu, claiming that the design of Autopilot's automatic driving assistance system and airbags was flawed, and demanded more than $3 million in compensation. A jury in Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that the airbags of Tesla's Autopilot automatic driving assistance system did not lose safety performance, and Tesla did not intentionally fail to disclose the facts, so Tesla ruled in favor of Tesla.
According to foreign media reports, the jury of the Los Angeles Superior Court in the United States held that Tesla has clearly warned that some self-driving software is not an automatic driving system, and the main cause of the accident is caused by the driver's distraction, so Tesla ruled in favor.
In June last year, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) launched an investigation of 830,000 Tesla vehicles, focusing on the safety of Autopilot's Autopilot self-driving assistance system. It is reported that NHTSA upgraded the investigation to engineering analysis at the time, which is a necessary step before the mandatory recall.
NHTSA's investigation at the time involved about 416,000 Model 3 and Model Y, accounting for about half of the total number investigated, which are Tesla's best-selling products, and there have been no reports of crashes or injuries caused by the above-mentioned "phantom braking" problems.
According to the information released by NHTSA at the time, the Tesla car involved in the investigation may accidentally brake at high speed, and the complaint report shows that sudden deceleration and braking may occur without any warning, and will occur repeatedly during a single drive, and the owner is worried about high-speed rear-end collisions.
