陪审团审议特斯拉在佛罗里达致命自动驾驶事故中的责任

Summary

迈阿密联邦陪审团正在考虑特斯拉是否应对2019年涉及其自动驾驶系统的致命事故承担责任,该公司因其驾驶辅助技术面临罕见的审查。

迈阿密联邦陪审团本周开始听取辩论,此案将决定特斯拉是否应对2019年一起涉及其自动驾驶辅助系统的事故中一名大学生的死亡承担部分责任。事故发生在佛罗里达基韦斯特附近,当时一辆特斯拉Model S以近70英里每小时的速度闯过交通信号灯和停车标志,撞上了一辆停放的车辆,导致Naibel Benavides Leon死亡,她的男友也受了重伤。

原告方认为,特斯拉的自动驾驶系统本应检测到停放的雪佛兰Tahoe,或者警告司机或自动刹车以避免碰撞。他们还主张该系统应限制在主要道路使用,防止在较小的乡村道路上启用。然而,特斯拉坚持认为事故是由司机分心引起,而非其技术所致。公司在一份声明中表示:“证据清楚显示,这起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,这是由司机分心造成的。”

美国地方法官Beth Bloom此前驳回了针对特斯拉的一些诉讼请求,包括制造缺陷,但允许陪审团考虑公司是否应对惩罚性赔偿负责。在一份法庭文件中,Bloom写道:“合理的陪审团可能会认定,特斯拉为了开发产品和最大化利润而对人命表现出鲁莽的漠视。”

特斯拉否认了诉讼中的大部分指控,称驾驶员在手册和屏幕指示中被警告必须保持注意力并随时准备干预。公司此后更新了其驾驶辅助功能,但仍面临诉讼和监管调查。2023年,联邦安全监管机构因自动驾驶未能充分提醒分心司机,召回了230万辆特斯拉,且关于后续修复措施有效性的进一步调查仍在进行中。

此次审判的结果可能对特斯拉产生重大影响,因为该公司正准备在美国推广其自动驾驶技术并推出机器人出租车。

Confirmed

A federal jury in Miami began hearing arguments this week in a case that will determine whether Tesla is partly responsible for the death of a university student in a 2019 crash involving its Autopilot driver-assistance system.

!
Partly Confirmed

The incident occurred near Key West, Florida, when a Tesla Model S, traveling at nearly 70 miles per hour, ran through traffic signals and a stop sign before colliding with a parked vehicle, resulting in the death of Naibel Benavides Leon and severe injuries to her boyfriend.

Confirmed

Plaintiffs argue that Tesla's Autopilot should have detected the parked Chevrolet Tahoe and either warned the driver or braked to prevent the collision.

Confirmed

Tesla, however, maintains that the crash was caused by driver distraction, not its technology.

Confirmed

U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom previously dismissed some claims against Tesla, including defective manufacturing, but allowed the jury to consider whether the company could be liable for punitive damages.

Confirmed

Tesla has denied most of the lawsuit's allegations, stating that drivers are warned in manuals and on-screen instructions that they must remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times.

Confirmed

In 2023, federal safety regulators recalled 2.3 million Teslas over concerns that Autopilot did not sufficiently alert inattentive drivers, and further investigations are ongoing regarding the effectiveness of subsequent fixes.

Confirmed

The outcome of this trial could have significant implications for Tesla as it prepares to expand its self-driving technology and introduce robotaxis in the United States.
