After Elon Musk claimed that Tesla would “never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose,” Tesla has settled a litany of wrongful death cases involving its defective self-driving software.
These settlements demonstrate Tesla admitting its software was at fault in these fatal collisions.
Dear Representative,
I am concerned by Tesla’s deployment of its experimental self-driving software on public roads. I note that data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that this technology has been implicated in over 1,000 crashes, dozens of which have been fatal. I urge you to act by calling for more stringent regulation of Tesla’s self-driving software. Tesla escapes the regulatory scrutiny we rightly place on other self-driving cars. I call on you to address this issue by demanding that Tesla is held to the same standards we demand of other self-driving vehicles.
Sincerely,
