: Tesla’s Autopilot wasn’t faulty in related California crash, jury finds

A Southern California jury on Tuesday found that the advanced driver-assistance system of a Tesla Inc. TSLA vehicle involved in a fatal crash in 2019 wasn’t defective, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Both Autopilot and Tesla’s ADAS version for city streets, which the EV maker calls Full Self Driving, are under several federal probes and at the center of several lawsuits related to crashes and wrongful-death litigation. The Tuesday verdict, however, could have limited implications, since the jurors were asked to consider manufacturing defects rather than overall problems with the system and how is designed to perform, the report said.
