陪审团认定特斯拉对致命自动驾驶事故负部分责任,被判支付超2亿美元赔偿

摘要

佛罗里达联邦陪审团认定特斯拉对2019年涉及其自动驾驶系统的致命车祸负有部分责任,判令公司支付超过2亿美元的赔偿金。

佛罗里达联邦陪审团裁定,特斯拉对2019年发生在基拉戈的一起车祸负有部分责任,该事故导致22岁的纳贝尔·贝纳维德斯死亡。事故涉及特斯拉的自动驾驶辅助系统,公司被判支付2亿美元的惩罚性赔偿金及约4300万美元的补偿性赔偿金。

案件焦点在于特斯拉的自动驾驶功能是否促成了此次车祸。事故发生时,特斯拉车主乔治·麦基在驾驶过程中弯腰去捡掉落的手机,结果与贝纳维德斯的车辆相撞。根据《纽约时报》报道,麦基作证称他相信自动驾驶系统会保护他,若他犯错能防止严重事故发生。

特斯拉的自动驾驶系统旨在辅助转向和制动,但该公司因其对系统能力的宣传方式受到批评和监管审查。加利福尼亚机动车辆管理局此前曾指控特斯拉在自动驾驶和全自动驾驶功能的广告中存在误导行为。

针对判决,特斯拉发表声明称:“今天的判决是错误的,只会阻碍汽车安全的发展,并危及特斯拉及整个行业开发和实施救生技术的努力。”公司已表示将对该判决提出上诉。
