陪审团裁定特斯拉对致命自动驾驶事故负部分责任,判赔3.29亿美元

摘要

迈阿密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事故负有部分责任,向受害者家属判赔3.29亿美元。该裁决标志着关于驾驶辅助技术的重要法律决定。

迈阿密联邦陪审团裁定,特斯拉对2019年一起涉及其自动驾驶辅助系统的事故负有部分责任,该事故导致20岁的Naibel Benavides Leon死亡,她的男友Dillon Angulo受重伤。陪审团判决赔偿3.29亿美元的惩罚性和补偿性赔偿金,将三分之一的责任归于特斯拉,三分之二归于驾驶员,后者另行被起诉。

事故发生时,驾驶员和自动驾驶系统均未及时刹车以避免路口碰撞,导致致命事故。此判决是针对特斯拉驾驶辅助技术的首批重大法律裁决之一,此前该公司曾通过庭外和解解决类似诉讼。

原告首席律师Brett Schreiber表示,特斯拉设计自动驾驶系统是用于受控高速公路,但选择不限制其在其他场景的使用,而CEO埃隆·马斯克公开宣传该系统的能力。Schreiber称,此裁决使特斯拉和马斯克对推广缺乏足够安全保障的自动驾驶技术承担责任。

特斯拉宣布计划上诉,声称该裁决错误,可能阻碍汽车安全技术的发展。公司坚持认为,无论是2019年还是现在,任何车辆都无法避免此次事故,并辩称本案并非真正关于自动驾驶系统。

此次审判正值特斯拉继续开发和部署更先进的驾驶辅助系统,包括在德克萨斯州奥斯汀推出其Robotaxi网络之际。
