Exclusive details: ‘It has been a struggle for [our client] to even talk about it enough for us to be able to file this lawsuit on her behalf,’ attorney Quinton Seay told The Independent
Huh, I guess if I let go of the steering wheel in my car, it’s also going to self-drive into a tree, or wall, or car, even without all the fancy marketing by it’s maker of self-driving capabilities
I have a Ford Edge that can self steer with Cruise Control on.
If I take my hands off the wheel for more than a few seconds it screams at me and disables the self steering. For it to work I must have a hand on the wheel at all times.
Same with my Tesla. I’m sure part of this lawsuit will cover whether it screamed for the driver in time.
Realistically that’s even a likely scenario for the crash. Autopilot (which is simply adaptive cruise plus lane keeping) screamed for the driver and disengaged, but the driver was not paying attention
I’d also like to know what kind of road it was on. Some of these descriptions of roads in the uk are scenarios where it doesn’t make sense to think autopilot would work, nor to go fast enough for a crash of this severity.

Yes I hate tesla like everyone else but the driver is the driver. The car is not the driver.
people crash and die on cruise control all the time.
What kind of asshole puts the life of his family in the hands of a cheaply made gadget?
