Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time
The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
Easiest way to commit second degree murder and serve zero jail time!
Just don't drink and autopilot. If you do, you might become guilty
Oh no, almost a third of the price of his car. How will he ever manage?
This is the criminal case. I would be shocked if there wasn't also a civil case against him and Tesla for a much more substantial amount.
Honestly Tesla should also be held culpable. It isn't right to call something "autopilot" and allow it to work even when you aren't paying any attention to the road, and get away with it because your fine print says "it's not fully autonomous, pretty please still pay attention".
That's why you must apply pressure to the steering wheel for the "autopilot" to work, there's no "pretty please" bullshit.
It's something that happens since 2020 I guess.
