联邦陪审团在特斯拉自动驾驶致命事故案中选定
摘要
迈阿密已选定联邦陪审团，审理一起涉及特斯拉自动驾驶系统的2019年致命车祸民事诉讼，埃隆·马斯克与特斯拉的关联引发潜在陪审员强烈看法。
周一，迈阿密选定了一支联邦陪审团，审理一起涉及2019年特斯拉Model S在自动驾驶模式下发生的车祸民事诉讼，该事故导致一名行人死亡，另一人重伤。这是特斯拉首次因涉嫌其自动驾驶系统相关的致命事故面临陪审团审判。
在陪审团选拔过程中，多名潜在陪审员对特斯拉及其首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表达了强烈看法，有人表示由于马斯克的公众形象及公司声誉，难以保持公正。特斯拉律师承认马斯克与品牌关系密切，告诉陪审员：“听到埃隆·马斯克这个名字，很难不形成某种看法，无论是正面还是负面，”但强调本案焦点是事故本身，而非马斯克个人。
该诉讼由死者纳贝尔·贝纳维德斯的家属及其男友迪隆·安古洛提起，后者也在事故中受伤。原告称特斯拉的自动驾驶功能存在缺陷且不安全。车辆驾驶员乔治·麦吉并非被告，据报道他此前已与原告达成和解。
特斯拉官网将自动驾驶描述为一套先进的驾驶辅助系统，旨在提升安全性和便利性，提供高级全自动驾驶（监督）选项，具备更多自动化功能。法庭上，原告律师辩称特斯拉无视对该系统的警告，且未对事故责任承担应有责任。律师还引用了马斯克关于特斯拉车辆安全性能的公开声明。
特斯拉在一份声明中表示：“证据清楚显示，此次事故与特斯拉的自动驾驶技术无关。正如自手机发明以来发生的许多不幸事故一样，原因是司机分心。”公司坚持认为司机应对事故负责，且当时没有任何可用技术能够防止该事故发生。
