Tesla’s legal team argues that the $243 million judgment, which found the company’s Autopilot feature partially responsible for a fatal 2019 crash, ‚flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.‘
Tesla is now seeking to overturn last month’s ruling which found its self-driving Autopilot feature partially responsible for a fatal crash in 2019.
According to a new filing in a Florida federal court, Tesla’s lawyers argued that the crash “was a tragedy that was entirely the doing of a driver who was reckless in the extreme by ignoring or overriding every safety feature in his car.” The EV giant’s legal team argues that “the $243 million judgment against Tesla flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.”
„In 2019, no vehicle—anywhere in the world—could have prevented the tragic consequences of George McGee’s extraordinary recklessness“, read the filing, spotted by Reuters.
