Tesla has settled a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of Walter Huang, an Apple engineer and father of two who died after his Model X SUV, with Autopilot features switched on, crashed into a highway barrier near Mountain View, California, in 2018.
The settlement comes as jury selection and a trial were just beginning on Monday in a California Superior court. The settlement allows Tesla to avoid airing evidence and testimonies in a widely-followed case. The National Transportation Safety Board investigated the fatal crash and revealed, in 2020, that it found Tesla’s tech was at least partly to blame for the collision, along with possible driver distraction and problematic road construction.
believed that Huang had been looking at a game on his phone at some point before the collision. The federal agency found that Tesla’s forward collision warning system did not provide an alert, and its automatic emergency braking system did not activate as Huang’s Model X, with Autopilot engaged, accelerated into a barrier alongside the highway 101.
said in 2020. Huang’s bereaved family sued Tesla for wrongful death and their claims focused in part on alleged safety and design defects in the company’s driver assistance systems. The case was Sz Huang et al v. Tesla Inc. et al in a California Superior Court in Santa Clara County.
