陪审团认定特斯拉自动驾驶系统部分导致致命车祸,判赔2.43亿美元

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车祸负有部分责任,判决向受害者家属赔偿2.43亿美元。判决将三分之一责任归于特斯拉,三分之二归于司机,公司计划上诉。

迈阿密联邦陪审团裁定,特斯拉对2019年佛罗里达群岛发生的一起车祸负有部分责任,该事故发生时车辆处于自动驾驶模式,导致一名行人死亡,另一人重伤。陪审团判给原告4300万美元的赔偿性损害赔偿和2亿美元的惩罚性赔偿,将三分之一责任归于特斯拉,三分之二归于司机。事发时司机正在伸手拿手机,司机本人另行被起诉。

事故发生时,一辆特斯拉Model S未在T型路口停车,撞上停放的SUV,造成20岁的Naibel Benavides Leon死亡,其男友Dillon Angulo受伤。庭审中提供的数据表明,车辆当时以每小时62英里的速度行驶,未对停车标志和闪烁的红灯进行制动。原告方辩称,特斯拉的自动驾驶软件本应警告司机并介入以防止事故发生。

特斯拉表示计划对判决提出上诉,并在声明中称:“今天的判决错误,只会阻碍汽车安全的发展,危及特斯拉及整个行业开发和实施救生技术的努力。鉴于审判中的重大法律错误和不规范,我们计划提起上诉。”

在为期三周的审判中,原告律师主张特斯拉夸大了其自动驾驶系统的能力,导致司机过度依赖该技术。原告律师Brett Schreiber表示,特斯拉CEO埃隆·马斯克“在消费者中制造了自动驾驶系统能超越其限制的期望”。

特斯拉坚持认为司机应对事故负全部责任,强调2019年及现今没有任何汽车能避免该事故。公司还指出,其自动驾驶系统需要司机监督,且不具备完全自动驾驶能力,这一点在用户手册中有明确说明。针对司机的单独诉讼已达成和解。

此判决发布之际,联邦及州监管机构对特斯拉驾驶辅助系统的安全性持续进行审查。美国国家公路交通安全管理局此前指出自动驾驶系统存在“关键安全漏洞”,与数百起碰撞事故相关,其中包括多起致命事故。
