Original Note:
Several cases when drivers claimed the car “malfunctioned” and drove by itself were proven false in court. To this date there is no proven case of a Tesla driving by itself with no autopilot active and causing a crash like the driver in this incident suggests. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-wins-autopilot-trial-involving-fatal-crash-2023-10-31/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/31/business/tesla-autopilot-jury-decision.html https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/31/23940693/tesla-jury-autopilot-win-liable-micah-lee https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/23/a-tesla-owner-says-his-cars-self-driving-technology-failed-to-detect-a-moving-train-ahead-of-a-crash-caught-on-camera.html
