A Los Angeles driver operating his Tesla Model S on autopilot was ordered to stand trial on vehicular manslaughter charges after two died in a 2019 crash.
An unidentified woman in the Tesla, along with Riad, were hospitalized with injuries after the accident.
The car’s Autosteer and traffic aware cruise control were activated at the time of the crash, according to prosecutors.Crash data reportedly showed that no brakes were applied in the six minutes leading up to the accident. Tesla officials have said that Autosteer and the more sophisticated "full self-driving" function cannot entirely drive the vehicle, and drivers must monitor and respond to needs based on traffic conditions.
There have been several incidents in recent years involving crashes that occurred after drivers mishandled automated driving systems.
