"But the reliability of that service is in question for now, as there have been multiple accidents, including in which a person was killed, and the self-driving feature was held at fault, experts said. That is not a spotlight that Tesla wants, and the company recently settled with the family of a 15-year-old boy in San Francisco who died in 2019 after a Tesla self-driving car hit the car his father was driving, court filings on Monday showed."
"The settlement came weeks after a Florida jury ordered the company to pay $243m in damages to the family of a female pedestrian who had died in a crash involving a Tesla self-driving car. The jury had reached a verdict that the car was at fault, setting a precedent for cases such as the Maldonados' case. The company has appealed the Florida verdict."
Tesla has bet its future growth on Robotaxis, robots and self-driving cars, linking executive compensation to achieving those milestones and selling millions of subscriptions. The proposed pay package requires up to 10 million self-driving subscriptions as a condition. The self-driving service has faced multiple accidents, including fatal crashes attributed to the autonomous feature. Tesla settled with the family of 15-year-old Jovani Maldonado, who died in San Francisco in 2019 after a Tesla self-driving car collided with his father’s vehicle. A separate Florida jury awarded $243 million to a pedestrian’s family, a verdict Tesla has appealed. Robotaxis are being piloted in San Francisco and Austin.
