Tesla's Autopilot Deception: Withheld Data and Misleading Authorities

Tesla lost a wrongful death lawsuit involving Autopilot this week, and trial transcripts reveal the company withheld critical evidence and misled authorities. Minutes after the crash, Tesla's servers received a collision snapshot, yet they claimed the data didn't exist, directing police to retrieve irrelevant information. Plaintiffs eventually obtained the complete data from Tesla's servers, proving Autopilot was engaged and failed to issue warnings. The court found Tesla 33% liable, highlighting serious issues with Autopilot's safety and transparency.
