Ridgewood NJ, Two felony charges have been filed against a Tesla owner in the US for a deadly crash involving Autopilot in 2019. It is the first time a Tesla owner has been criminally charged in the US in a case involving Autopilot. Autopilot has contributed to a number of fatal crashes and Tesla has faced several wrongful death suits as a result. Drivers are warned that they need to pay attention when using Autopilot, but some drivers still misuse the system.
A well justified prosecution.
When “George” is driving the vehicle you are supposed to be monitoring “George.”
