Tesla Autopilot on trial over 2019 crash that injured driver
In 2019, Justine Hsu's Tesla Model S, with Autopilot activated, swerved into a barrier on a city street, causing the airbag to deploy and breaking her jaw, knocking out teeth, and causing facial nerve damage. She sued Tesla in 2020, alleging flaws in the Autopilot and airbag systems, and is seeking over $3 million in damages. Tesla denies liability, arguing that she misused the system by activating it on a city street and had time to brake. The trial, underway in California, is the first of its kind and could set a precedent for autonomous vehicle liability.
