4th day of trial for a wrongful death case on Tesla's Autopilot in Miami.

The evidence is so damning that I think Tesla will soon settle out of court.

It'll be the 4th settlement out of court by Tesla & it'll make $TSLA robotaxi rollouts tougher. 💀

Wrongful Autopilot Death Lawsuit Could Weigh on Tesla

The trial started on July 14th in a Miami federal court; Tesla settled a 2019 Autopilot death case 7 days before this trial, which has raised eyebrows.

my understanding is that the plaintiff in this case has already received a settlement from the driver and is therefore more motivated to fight this one out and hold the company accountable

Watch this @Tesla Supervised Robotaxi give up and refuse to take the rider to their destination. The supervisor is forced to take control but when he moves over to the driver’s seat, he can’t get the Tesla to get out of park!

Tesla has been settling a lot of these Autopilot cases over the last year or so, some of which arise from incidents from >5 years ago, for millions of dollars. In many cases they are doing so only after recording seriously damping depositions. They can't keep a lid on this thing forever.

☠️deadward niedermurder☠️ @niedermeyer.online · Jul 16

This is more bullshit from a long-term Tesla Autopilot team survivor. How was Tesla supposed to develop a system like Autopilot without tracking crashes? Of course they tracked crashes. It's possible Tesla hasn't maintained records from that time, but if so it's not because they weren't collected.

Wired has been doing some great work the past few months. Very appreciative of their work!

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · Jul 15

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

Looks like @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy 60 Minutes continues to abandon basic journalistic responsibilities in order to promote and cover for Elon Musk.

The latest example is their removal of a 2018 episode, in which Musk claimed he wasn't driving with Autopilot active (legally he was driving).

A list of CBS 60 Minutes episodes on Paramount Plus, showing that Season 51 Episode 11, from December 8, 2018, is "unavailable due to expired rights," even though the episodes before and after it are available with a subscription. The missing episode features Elon Musk demonstrating unsafe use of Autopilot.

Elon’s mom and I are from the same place. Her father moved the family to South Africa roughly one year after apartheid was established because our shared home province wasn’t racist enough.

And Saskatchewan? Yeah, lots of racism. Just not enough for the Haldemans.

Musk's companies persist despite heinous mistakes not because they are able to perform well but because they are willing to behave horribly.

Grok’s responses must come from “independent analysis,” not Musk’s stated beliefs.

It wasn’t seriously damaged when hit and can be patched up easily where it did break apart. And we’d use the correct adhesive. lol
