Elon Musk Personally Denies Tesla Autopilot Killed a Grandmother — Trial Is Underway
Ars Technica·Thursday, 25 June 2026
Elon Musk has publicly denied that Tesla's Autopilot system caused a crash that killed a grandmother, instead blaming the driver for pressing the accelerator. The case accuses Tesla of failing to fix known design flaws in its driver-assistance system. The trial puts Tesla's safety record and Musk's credibility under direct scrutiny.
Why It Matters
Tesla is expanding in India and autonomous driving features are increasingly common in premium cars globally. How courts rule on Autopilot liability will shape safety standards for the entire self-driving industry.
