Agree. Discovery will be VERY interesting. Especially who is representing the plaintiff and if cell phone records show that SOMEBODY wasn’t “safe driving” the vehicle.

Tesla’s have full exterior and interior cameras running at all times. When in FSD or autopilot the interior cameras lock onto the eyes and make sure you are looking up and out the windshield forward. If you look down to long it will sound an alarm and disengage. They also have full black boxes with telemetry. There probably is not a better car for forensic crash analysis. In discovery they will know what driver inputs to the controls were, what level of autopilot or FSD was in use and full internal and external video as well. My take is the driver was either impaired or was not paying attention and ignored the alarm to take.control when the tech disengaged as it is designed to do.
Nearly every Tesla crash on “FSD” was not really in FSD it had disengaged and the person ignored the alarms or it was autopilot and the driver asked it to do something it was not meant to do.
My model 3 has FSD it so far has worked perfectly. The model Y has autopilot as I don’t want the kid who leases it from me to use it while uber blacking it.
