Yes but as far as I can tell GM SuperCruise hasn't killed anybody either. 'Move fast and break things' doesn't seem like such a great philosophy when those things are people's lives.


It's only available in a small handful of cars and only works on certain roads. I have no doubt that one of these super-cruisers will be surprised by something and crash into it once they start racking up miles. Driving is dangerous.


You think Tesla will ever get sued over Autopilot?


Given some of Tesla's past behavior, I suspect any such attempt would involve any or the following:

- pulling of full vehicle logs, prior to any subpoena/ discovery, and publishing of press releases with Tesla's "findings" on the driver's record

- disabling of Autopilot for that vehicle, if not

- disabling of the vehicle for failure to adhere to the EULA which probably has "binding arbitration" clauses


Not going to be effective if the plaintiff is a third party injured by a Tesla induced crash.


Driver-induced crash. Tesla ships a level 2 system.
