Autopilot on trial: Closing arguments set to define the verdict
Closing arguments are set to begin on Tuesday in the first US. Trial over allegations that Tesla's autopilot driver assistant feature led to a fatal crash. This high-stakes case in a california state court has witnessed startling testimony, including allegations that Tesla asked an employee to keep autopilot's details hidden from the public. The case revolves around a 2019 incident in which a Tesla model 3 veered off a highway, struck a palm tree, and burst into flames. The crash tragically claimed a life and seriously injured two passengers, including an 8-year-old boy who suffered severe injuries.
