Jurie recommends Tesla to pay more than USD 200 million in Autopilot Crash Case | Mint

Miami, August 1 (AP), a jury in Miami decided that Elon Musk’s car enterprise Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly accident in Florida involving its Autopilot Driver Assist technology and paying victims more than $ 200 million in penalty damage. The federal jury said that Tesla has a significant responsibility because the technology has failed and that not all the blame can be placed on a reckless driver, even one who admitted to being distracted by his cellphone before beating a young couple to the stars. The decision comes because Musk is trying to convince Americans that his cars are safe enough to drive on their own, because he plans to execute a driverless taxi service in various cities in the coming months. The decision ends a four -year case strikingly, not only in its outcome, but that it even heard. Many similar cases against Tesla were rejected and, when this did not happen, the company resolved to avoid the spotlight of a hearing. “It will open the flood gates,” said Miguel Custodio, a car accident lawyer who is not involved in the Tesla case. “It will come to court many people to come to court.” The case also included a surprising charges of advocates for the deceased’s family, 22-year-old NAIBEL BANAVIDES Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed that Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. Tesla has previously criticized that it is slow to lift important information by family members of other victims in Tesla crashes, accusations that denied the car business. In this case, the plaintiffs showed that Tesla had the evidence throughout, despite the repeated denials, by hiring a forensic data expert who unearthed it. Tesla said it made a mistake after showing the evidence and that he honestly did not think it was. It is not clear how much a hit for Tesla’s reputation for safety will make the ruling in the Miami case. Tesla has significantly improved its technology since the accident on a dark, rural road in Key Largo, Florida, in 2019. (AP) NPK NPK
