Florida Court Admits Tesla Driving Assistance System Defective

globalautonews Views  

Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge Reid Scott ruled on November 22, 2023, acknowledging allegations that Tesla allowed drivers to use its driver assistance system despite knowing its flaws. This verdict came from a lawsuit filed by the family of a man who died in a collision in 2019, in which the judge acknowledged Tesla’s fault.

The judge pointed out that there is a possibility that Elon Musk and the engineers knew that Tesla’s system could not adequately detect traffic, such as vehicles crossing its path. The judge also suspected that Tesla was promoting a high level of autonomous driving by calling its insufficient system an “Autopilot,” which could lead to misunderstandings.

Tesla’s Autopilot requires constant monitoring by the driver, and in the event of an accident, the responsibility lies with the driver. It falls under Level 2 in the ADAS stage.

There are many criticisms that the terms “Autopilot” and “FSD” (Full Self Driving) lead to misunderstandings of the possibility of fully autonomous driving. Therefore, most other car companies do not use the term “autonomous vehicle” and express it as ADAS.

Within the United States, different rulings are being made in courts regarding Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD. This is due to differing positions depending on the state. It does not seem easy to consolidate to one side.
