Teaghlach worry à California a bhàsaich e ann an tubaist uabhasach fhad ‘s a bha an Tesla aige ann am modh“ Autopilot ”ag agairt an neach-dèanaidh chàraichean dealain mu thagraidhean leis a’ chompanaidh agus an Ceannard Elon Musk gun robh an teicneòlas fèin-dràibhidh aige air a choileanadh agus gu robh e deiseil airson an rathaid.

Chaidh Genesis Giovanni Mendoza Martinez, 31, a phronnadh gu bàs air cùl cuibhle an Mannequin S a cheannaich e fon chreideas – a rèir coltais ceàrr – gum faodadh e e fhèin a stiùireadh, a rèir cùis-lagha a chaidh a chuir a-steach le pàrantan Mendoza, Eduardo agus Maria, agus a bhràthair Caleb, a chaidh cuideachd a dhroch ghoirteachadh san long-bhriseadh air 18 Gearran, 2023.

Teslaairson a phàirt, ag argamaid gu bheil “dealbhadh reusanta sàbhailte aig na càraichean aca mar a chaidh a thomhas leis an deuchainn iomchaidh fo lagh na stàite iomchaidh,” agus gum faodadh an tubaist “a bhith air adhbhrachadh gu h-iomlan no ann am pàirt” le “gnìomhan dearmadach Giovanni Mendoza fhèin”. agus/no dearmad.”

“[N]o bhiodh rabhaidhean a bharrachd air, no dh’ fhaodadh iad a bhith air casg a chuir air an tachartas a thathas ag ràdh, na leòntan, name agus milleadh a thathas ag ràdh, ”fhreagair a’ chompanaidh ann am faidhle cùirt a ’dol an-aghaidh tagraidhean an teaghlaich.

Tha aig riaghaltas na SA spreadhadh Tesla airson a bhith a’ toirt thairis air tagraidhean mu chomasan fèin-dràibhidh nan càraichean aca, le Rùnaire na Còmhdhail Pete Buttigieg am measg an luchd-càineadh as cruaidhe.

Dh’innis an neach-lagha Brett Schreiber, a tha a’ riochdachadh teaghlach Mendoza An Neo-eisimeileach“Is e search engine optimisation eisimpleir eile de Tesla a’ cleachdadh ar rathaidean poblach gus rannsachadh agus leasachadh a dhèanamh air an teicneòlas dràibhidh fèin-riaghailteach aige. Bha e comasach stad a chuir air na leòntan a dh’ fhuiling a’ chiad luchd-freagairt agus bàs Mhgr Mendoza. Is e an rud a tha nas miosa gu bheil fios aig Tesla gu bheil mòran de na carbadan modail a bh’ aige roimhe a ’leantainn air adhart a’ draibheadh ​​​​ar rathaidean an-diugh leis an aon uireasbhaidh search engine optimisation a ’cur a’ chiad luchd-freagairt agus am poball ann an cunnart. ”

Thuirt Schreiber gu bheil Tesla a’ cur chàraichean air an rathad le feart Autopilot a thuirt e mar “neo-uidheamaichte airson coileanadh,” agus an àite a bhith ag ainmeachadh ath-ghairm gus duilgheadasan a cheartachadh, gu bheil a ’chompanaidh dìreach a’ leigeil a-mach bathar-bog ùr agus ga ainmeachadh mar “ùrachadh.”

“Is e an cabhag search engine optimisation a bhith a’ putadh toradh a-mach nach eil dha-rìribh deiseil airson prìomh-ùine, ”thuirt Schreiber.

Cha do fhreagair oifigearan Tesla ri iarrtas airson beachd Didòmhnaich. Cha deach teachdaireachdan a chaidh a chuir chun sgioba laghail a bha ag obair air dìon an neach-dèanamh chàraichean ann an cùis Mendoza a fhreagairt.

Anns a’ ghearan aca, a chaidh a thoirt a-mach à cùirt stàite gu cùirt feadarail an t-seachdain search engine optimisation, tha an teaghlach Mendoza ag ràdh gu robh Giovanni, a bha ag obair aig banca, mar aon de “mòran bhall den phoball” air a bhrosnachadh le aithrisean poblach agus puist air-loidhne le Musgcòmhla ri oidhirpean sanasachd farsaing Tesla, gun robh na càraichean aige comasach air iad fhèin a dhràibheadh.

“Chan e a-mhàin gu robh e mothachail gur e” Autopilot ” a bh’ air an teicneòlas fhèin, chunnaic e, chuala e agus / no leugh e mòran de na tagraidhean meallta aig Tesla no Musk air Twitter, weblog oifigeil Tesla, no anns na meadhanan naidheachd, “thuirt an gearan. “Bha Giovanni den bheachd gu robh na tagraidhean sin fìor, agus mar sin bha e den bheachd gu robh am feart‘ Autopilot ’leis an ùrachadh‘ làn fèin-dràibheadh ​​’na shàbhailte na draibhear daonna, agus gum faodadh earbsa a bhith ann a bhith a’ seòladh gu sàbhailte air rathaidean poblach gu fèin-riaghailteach. ”

A’ gabhail an duine as beairtiche san t-saoghal agus Tesla leis an fhacal aca gum faodadh na càraichean aige obrachadh gu neo-eisimeileach, cheannaich Giovanni a chleachd Mannequin S ann an 2021, agus gu cunbhalach ga dhràibheadh ​​​​air an rathad mòr a’ cleachdadh am feart Autopilot, tha gearan Mendozas ag ràdh.

“A rèir na h-aithrisean a chuala Giovanni bho Musk, bha Giovanni den bheachd gu robh an carbad na dhràibhear nas sàbhailte na duine agus bha e an urra ris a bhith a’ faicinn agus a ’dèiligeadh ri trafaic air a bheulaibh,” lean an gearan.

Goirid às deidh sin Latha Valentine an-uiridh, aig timcheall air 4 sa mhadainn, bha Giovanni a’ draibheadh ​​​​an Tesla aige gu tuath air Interstate 680, le Caleb ann an cathair an luchd-siubhail agus an Autopilot an sàs, a rèir a’ ghearain.

Air fàire, chaidh làraidh teine ​​​​a phàirceadh air feadh dà shreath de thrafaig, le na solais èiginn a’ lasadh, gus càraichean a bha a’ tighinn a-steach a chuir air falbh bho làrach tubaist, tha an gearan a’ leantainn. Tha e ag ràdh gu robh dàrna làraidh teine ​​​​cuideachd air an làrach, còmhla ri dà charbad Patrol Freeway California, agus chaidh na solais èiginn aca uile a chuir an gnìomh cuideachd.

Fhad ‘s a bha na bràithrean a’ dèanamh an slighe sìos an rathad, gu h-obann chaidh an carbad thairis air a ’chiad làraidh teine, a’ dol a-steach dha aig astar àrd, tha an gearan ag ràdh.

“Aig àm an tubaist, cha robh Giovanni a’ cumail smachd air a ’charbad cuspair, ach an àite sin bha e gu fulangach na shuidhe ann an cathair an draibhear leis an fheart‘ Autopilot ’an sàs,” tha an gearan a’ leantainn. “Gu dearbh, sheall dàta bhon Tesla fhèin gu robh a’ chàr cuspair ann an ‘Autopilot’ airson timcheall air 12 mionaidean ron tubaist, gun peadalan luathachaidh no peadalan breic bho Giovanni aig an àm sin. B’ e astar tuairmseach a’ charbaid cuspair 71 msu anns an ùine 12-mionaid.

Sheall an dàta cuideachd gu robh Giovanni “mar as trice a’ cumail conaltradh ris a ’chuibhle stiùiridh gu àm an tubaist,” a rèir a’ ghearain.

“Mar thoradh air an tubaist, chaidh milleadh mòr a dhèanamh air a’ chàr cuspair, a ’pronnadh corp Giovanni,” tha e ag ràdh. “Mhair Giovanni, co-dhiù sa mhionaid, ach bhàsaich e às deidh sin leis na leòntan a fhuair e san tubaist.”

Tha an gearan ag argamaid gu bheil an Autopilot Tesla tha an siostam lochtach, agus chan urrainn dha na carbadan èiginn aithneachadh bho thrafaig àbhaisteach, eadhon leis na solais èiginn aca. An àite sin, tha e ag agairt, chunnaic an Autopilot “frèamaichean singilte san t-siostam lèirsinn a bha an dàrna cuid gu math dorcha no glè shoilleir,” agus ag ionndrainn na làraidhean teine ​​​​agus luchd-turais poileis gu tur, ag adhbhrachadh an tubaist, a ’marbhadh Giovanni agus a’ gortachadh Caleb gu mòr. Chaidh ceathrar luchd-smàlaidh a ghoirteachadh beagan, a rèir aithisgean naidheachd co-aimsireil.

Tha liosta nan gearanan duilleag às deidh duilleag eile Tubaistean Tesla le Autopilotagus a’ casaid Tesla, agus Musk gu sònraichte, bho bhith a’ dearmad a bhith a’ rèiteach a h-uile biast a th’ ann mu thràth mus tèid am feart a leigeil ma sgaoil don phoball. Tha e ag ràdh gu bheil dusanan de dh’ aithrisean, thagraidhean agus artaigilean air-loidhne le Musk fhèin gu tur meallta, fhad ‘s a bha fios aige nach robh e comasach dha Teslas draibheadh ​​​​gu neo-eisimeileach.

Ann an aon eisimpleir, tha an gearan a’ nochdadh beachd bho Musk aig coinneamh luchd-earrannan san Ògmhios 2014, anns an tuirt e, “Tha mi misneachail – ann an nas lugha na bliadhna – gum bi e comasach dhut a dhol bho rampa àrd-rathaid gu slighe a-mach às an rathad às aonais. a’ suathadh ri smachdan sam bith.”

Rè gairm co-labhairt san Fhaoilleach 2016 le luchd-aithris, thuirt Musk gu robh feart Autopilot Tesla “is dòcha nas fheàrr” na draibhear daonna, agus taobh a-staigh dà bhliadhna, bhiodh e comasach dha draibhearan na Teslas aca a ghairm air astar bho astar, agus toirt orra nochdadh an àite sam bith, a rèir ris a’ ghearan.

Tha Musk cuideachd “a’ moladh gu meallta[ed]” ann an aithris a chaidh a phostadh gu weblog Tesla gur e dìreach “dìth cead riaghlaidh” a bh’ anns a’ phrìomh dhùbhlan ann a bhith a’ sgaoileadh charbadan làn fèin-dràibhidh, ”tha an gearan ag ràdh. Tha e ag ràdh gun do nochd e aig tachartas ann an 2019 ann am Palo Alto ris an canar “Latha Neo-eisimeileachd,” agus gheall e “còrr air millean tacsaidhean robo air an rathad,” às aonais cuibhlichean stiùiridh no peadalan, ro dheireadh 2019. Ann an 2020, thuirt Musk gu robh e làn bhiodh fèin-riaghladh air a leigeil ma sgaoil thairis air raon toraidh Tesla an ath bhliadhna.

Ach, tha an gearan ag agairt, Bha fios aig Tesla fad na h-ùine nach b’ urrainn dha na càraichean aige a bhith beò suas ris an hype, agus “rinn iad iomairt fharsaing gus na mìltean de dh’ aithrisean luchd-cleachdaidh a fhalach mu dhuilgheadasan le [its] Feart ‘Autopilot’, a’ toirt a-steach tubaistean, breiceadh gun dùil, agus luathachadh gun dùil.” Tha e a’ casaid àrd-ìre Tesla mu bhith a’ trèanadh luchd-obrach aghaidh gus “stad bho bhith a’ cuimhneachadh aithisgean teachdaiche ann an sgrìobhadh.”

“Nuair a fhreagair luchd-obrach Tesla aithisgean teachdaiche ann an sgrìobhadh, cha robh ann ach gus fois-inntinn a thoirt do luchd-ceannach gu robh am feart‘ Autopilot ’ag obair mar a bha dùil,” thuirt an gearan. “A bharrachd air an sin, thug Tesla… air luchd-cleachdaidh ainm a chuir ri aontaidhean neo-fhoillseachaidh gus obair càraidh fhaighinn fo bharrantas,” a tha an gearan ag ràdh a tha na bhriseadh air còd catharra California.

Thuirt a h-uile duine, fhuair Tesla “na mìltean de dh’ aithisgean teachdaiche a thaobh duilgheadasan le siostam ‘Autopilot’ Tesla eadar 2015 agus 2022, a ’toirt a-steach còrr air 1,000 tubaist; còrr air 1,500 gearan mu bhreiceadh obann, gun dùil; agus 2,400 gearan mu luathachadh obann, ”tha an gearan a’ cumail a-mach. Aig an aon àm, tha mìltean de dhraibhearan air innse do Tesla leis an fhacal aige gu bheil na càraichean aige comasach air draibheadh ​​​​air an ceann fhèin, nuair “gu dearbh [they are] neo-chomasach air grunn shuidheachaidhean àbhaisteach rathaid a làimhseachadh gu sàbhailte às aonais cuir a-steach draibhear.”

“A rèir coltais, tha search engine optimisation air leantainn – agus leanaidh e air adhart – gu grunn thubaistean eadar Teslas agus carbadan no luchd-coiseachd eile, a’ leantainn gu bàs no droch leòn corporra, “thuirt an gearan.

Ann am freagairt a chaidh a chuir a-steach ann an Cùirt Sgìreil na SA airson Sgìre a Tuath California, bha Tesla ag argamaid gun robh na “milleadh agus an dochann” a dh’ fhuiling Giovanni Mendoza agus a bhràthair, “ma bha sin ann, air adhbhrachadh le mì-chleachdadh no cumail suas neo-iomchaidh den toradh cuspair ann an dòigh. chan eil e reusanta do Tesla.”

The household of a California man who died in a horrific crash whereas his Tesla was in “Autopilot” mode is suing the electrical carmaker over claims by the corporate and CEO Elon Musk that its self-driving expertise had been perfected and was prepared for the street.

Genesis Giovanni Mendoza Martinez, 31, was crushed to dying behind the wheel of the Mannequin S he purchased beneath the — apparently mistaken — perception it may drive itself, in accordance with a lawsuit filed by Mendoza’s mother and father, Eduardo and Maria, and his brother Caleb, who was additionally severely injured within the February 18, 2023 wreck.

Tesla, for its half, argues that its automobiles have “a fairly secure design as measured by the suitable take a look at beneath the relevant state regulation,” and that the accident “might have been prompted in entire or partially” by Giovanni Mendoza’s “personal negligent acts and/or omissions.”

“[N]o extra warnings would have, or may have prevented the alleged incident, the accidents, losses and damages alleged,” the corporate responded in a court docket submitting rebutting the household’s claims.

The US authorities has blasted Tesla for overstating claims about its automobiles’ self-driving talents, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg among the many harshest critics.

Legal professional Brett Schreiber, who’s representing the Mendoza household, informed The Impartial, “That is one more instance of Tesla utilizing our public roadways to carry out analysis and growth of its autonomous driving expertise. The accidents suffered by the primary responders and the dying of Mr. Mendoza had been fully preventable. What’s worse is that Tesla is aware of that lots of its earlier mannequin automobiles proceed to drive our roadways in the present day with this similar defect placing first responders and the general public in danger.”

Tesla officers didn’t reply to a request for touch upon Sunday. Messages despatched to the authorized crew engaged on the carmaker’s protection within the Mendoza case additionally went unanswered.

Of their criticism, which was faraway from state court docket to federal court docket this week, the Mendoza household says Giovanni, who labored at a financial institution, was one in every of “many members of the general public” persuaded by public statements and on-line posts by Musk, together with Tesla’s intensive promoting efforts, that its automobiles had been able to driving themselves.

“Not solely was he conscious that the expertise itself was known as ‘Autopilot,’ he noticed, heard, and/or learn lots of Tesla or Musk’s misleading claims on Twitter, Tesla’s official weblog, or within the information media,” the criticism states. “Giovanni believed these claims had been true, and thus believed the ‘Autopilot’ characteristic with the ‘full self driving’ improve was safer than a human driver, and might be trusted to securely navigate public highways autonomously.”

Taking the world’s richest man and Tesla at their phrase that its automobiles may function autonomously, Giovanni bought a used Mannequin S in 2021, and usually drove it on the freeway utilizing the Autopilot characteristic, the Mendozas’ criticism states.

“Primarily based on representations Giovanni heard made by Musk, Giovanni believed the automobile was a safer driver than a human and relied on it to understand and react to visitors in entrance of him,” the criticism goes on.

Shortly after Valentine’s Day final yr, at round 4 a.m., Giovanni was driving his Tesla northbound on Interstate 680, with Caleb within the passenger seat and the Autopilot engaged, in accordance with the criticism.

Within the distance, a fireplace truck was parked diagonally throughout two lanes of visitors, with its emergency lights flashing, to divert oncoming automobiles away from a collision web site, the criticism continues. It says a second hearth truck was additionally on the scene, together with two California Freeway Patrol automobiles, all of which additionally had their emergency lights activated.

Because the brothers made their manner down the street, the automobile all of a sudden broadsided the primary hearth truck, slamming into it at excessive pace, the criticism states.

“On the time of the collision, Giovanni was not controlling the Topic Automobile, however he was as a substitute passively sitting within the driver’s seat with the ‘Autopilot’ characteristic engaged,” the criticism continues. “The truth is, information from the Tesla itself confirmed that the Topic Automobile was in ‘Autopilot’ for about 12 minutes previous to the crash, with no accelerator pedal or brake pedal inputs from Giovanni throughout that point. The approximate pace of the Topic Automobile was 71 mph through the 12-minute interval.”

The info additional confirmed that Giovanni “usually maintained contact with the steering wheel till the time of the crash,” in accordance with the criticism.

“On account of the collision, the Topic Automobile sustained main frontal harm, crushing Giovanni’s physique,” it says. “Giovanni survived, no less than momentarily, however subsequently died from the accidents he sustained within the collision.”

The criticism argues that the Tesla Autopilot system is flawed, and unable to discern the emergency automobiles from common visitors, even with their emergency lights on. As an alternative, it alleges, the Autopilot noticed “single frames within the imaginative and prescient system that had been both very darkish or very vivid,” and missed the fireplace vehicles and police cruisers altogether, inflicting the crash, killing Giovanni and severely injuring Caleb. 4 firefighters suffered minor accidents, in accordance with contemporaneous information experiences.

The criticism lists web page after web page of different Tesla crashes involving Autopilot, and accuses Tesla, and Musk particularly, of neglecting to iron out all present bugs earlier than releasing the characteristic to the general public. It calls out dozens of statements, claims, and on-line posts by Musk himself as wholly deceptive, whereas realizing Teslas weren’t able to truly driving autonomously.

In a single instance, the criticism highlights a remark by Musk throughout a June 2014 shareholder assembly, by which he mentioned, “I’m assured that — in lower than a yr — you’ll be capable to go from freeway onramp to freeway exit with out touching any controls.”

Throughout a January 2016 convention name with reporters, Musk mentioned Tesla’s Autopilot characteristic was “in all probability higher” than a human driver, and that inside two years, drivers would be capable to remotely summon their Teslas from afar, and have them present up anyplace, in accordance with the criticism.

Musk additionally “misleadingly recommend[ed]” in an announcement posted to the Tesla weblog that the main problem in rolling out totally self-driving automobiles was merely a “lack of regulatory approval,” the criticism states. It says he appeared at a 2019 occasion in Palo Alto known as “Autonomy Day,” and promised “over one million robo-taxis on the street,” with none steering wheels or pedals, by the top of 2019. In 2020, Musk claimed full autonomy could be launched throughout the Tesla product vary the next yr.

However, the criticism alleges, Tesla knew all of the whereas that its automobiles couldn’t dwell as much as the hype, and “undertook a widespread marketing campaign to hide hundreds of shopper experiences about issues with [its] ‘Autopilot’ characteristic, together with crashes, unintended braking, and unintended acceleration.” It accuses Tesla higher-ups of coaching front-line staff to “chorus from memorializing buyer experiences in writing.”

“When Tesla staff did reply to buyer experiences in writing, it was solely to reassure clients that the ‘Autopilot’ characteristic was working as supposed,” the criticism states. “As well as, Tesla… pressured shoppers to signal nondisclosure agreements to obtain repairs beneath guarantee,” which the criticism says is a violation of the California civil code.

All informed, Tesla acquired “hundreds of buyer experiences concerning issues with Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ system between 2015 and 2022, together with over 1,000 crashes; over 1,500 complaints about sudden, unintentional braking; and a couple of,400 complaints about sudden acceleration,” the criticism contends. On the similar time, hundreds of drivers have talen Tesla at its phrase that its automobiles are capable of drive on their very own, when “in truth [they are] incapable of safely dealing with a wide range of routine roadway situations with out driver enter.”

“Predictably, this has led — and can proceed to guide — to a number of collisions between Teslas and different automobiles or pedestrians, leading to dying or critical bodily damage,” the criticism says.

In a response filed in US District Court docket for the Northern District of California, Tesla argued that the “damages and accidents” suffered by Giovanni Mendoza and his brother, “if any, had been attributable to misuse or improper upkeep of the topic product in a way not moderately foreseeable to Tesla.”
