In April 2019, George McGee's Tesla Model S crashed through a T intersection in Florida, killing 22-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon and injuring Dillon Angulo. McGee engaged Tesla's Autopilot feature, which did not prevent the crash into a parked SUV. A federal jury trial is set regarding a lawsuit filed by Angulo and the Benavides family, who have settled with McGee. Lawsuits against Tesla question the safety and advertising claims of its driver-assistance systems. The company maintains that its technology is safe when drivers are attentive, while lawyers argue that Tesla exaggerates capabilities.
The impact of the crash killed 22-year-old Naibel Benavides Leon, who had been standing next to the parked SUV with Dillon Angulo.
But that didn't stop the Tesla from slamming into the parked Chevrolet Tahoe.
Tesla insists its cars are safe as long as drivers remain attentive.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs accuse the company of overpromising what its technology can do in order to sell cars.
