Tesla has settled a lawsuit with the surviving family members of an Apple engineer who died in a crash in 2018, according to a report from CNN. The engineer’s family blamed Tesla ’s Autopilot technology for the deadly crash, a charge Tesla denied. Terms of the settlement have not been made public, according to multiple reports, and jury selection in the civil trial was supposed to start on Monday. Tesla didn’t immediately respond to emailed questions.
Tesla’s Autopilot was engaged during the crash, which is why Huang’s family blamed the technology, accusing the carmaker of not being clear enough about its capabilities. Tesla maintained Huang was playing a game on his phone during the crash, though documents submitted to the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board by Huang’s family contend he had previously complained about Autopilot.
