Tesla driver's manslaughter trial hinges on 'man vs. machine'
Automaker is not the defendant here, but a lot is riding on the outcomeA manslaughter trial set to begin in Los Angeles for a fatal crash caused by a Tesla operating on Autopilot presents a first-of-its kind test for the legal responsibility of a human driver in a car that was partly driving itself, legal experts say.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether Tesla itself should face criminal charges over its self-driving claims, Reuters reported. Tesla does not face charges in the case, and legal experts say the bar for a criminal case against a company is high. Musk said in September that he believed Tesla had a"moral obligation" to roll out what he calls “Full Self Driving” software, even if it was not perfect and Tesla were sued, because doing so could save lives.
