    Seeing as they were using the now being recalled Tesla auto pilot during the auto accident, it may not entirely be the drivers fault. This may be part of the rational behind the judgement.

      Tesla should be out millions for this. The autopilot feature is a gimmick and not at all transparent. They’re beta testing on the public and people are dying because of it. This is a corporate decision that needs to have corporate consequences over and above legal ones. People shouldn’t just be getting minor fines, they should be going to prison and losing absolutely everything.

        Consistent and clear pattern of lying to everyone, minimizing, and shifting blame with clear motivation of personal profits.

        Fully agree on prison time.

      While I agree the name is misleading to the point of irresponsibility, if you buy a Tesla and you do not know what the auto pilot is capable of doing and not doing, then you are not responsible enough to use the auto pilot feature. Ignorance simply because of a name is not an excuse.
