Driver Killed in Tesla Model X Crash Had Reportedly Complained About Autopilot

Driver Killed in Tesla Model X Crash Had Reportedly Complained About Autopilot

There are new updates on the deadly Tesla Model X crash that occurred in Mountain View last month. On March 23, an Apple engineer was driving his Model X on Highway 101 when it crashed into the median and caught fire. Emergency personnel rushed the Model X driver to the hospital, but he later died from his injuries. ABC 7 News released an important update on the crash. Before the accident, the driver reportedly told his brother that Autopilot had caused the vehicle to steer towards the same barrier where the crash occurred on multiple occasions. The driver reportedly took the Model X to a dealership after experiencing this problem. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the California Highway Patrol’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team are investigating the accident. ABC 7 News captured footage of investigators removing the restraint and infotainment system control modules from the vehicle. It has been determined the Tesla Model X was using Autopilot when the crash occurred. Autopilot is a function that allows Tesla vehicles to operate semi-autonomously. The NTSB is investigating another recent crash that may have involved Autopilot. We recently wrote about this other crash on our blog.

Can I File a Lawsuit if I’m Harmed by A Defective Auto Part?

Vehicles sometimes contain manufacturing or design defects that make them unsafe to drive. Automakers and auto parts manufacturers may be liable for damages when their products cause injuries and deaths.  Consumers who suffer harm while using these vehicles may be able to file product liability lawsuits against automobile manufacturers or other parties. The Bay Area product liability lawyers at Golden State Lawyers will review your case at no cost if a vehicle defect caused you or a loved one harm. Our attorneys have a proven record of securing compensation for clients who were harmed by defective products. You can reach us by calling (408) 279-4222 or by describing your situation on our confidential case review form.
