Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot semi-autonomous driving system is “dangerously defective,” alleges a lawsuit filed in San Jose, Calif., this week.
The complaint seeks class-action status on behalf of some 47,000 owners of 2016-2017 Tesla Model S and Model X electric cars.
The lawsuit claims Autopilot is governed by “half-baked software” that causes cars under its control to veer, brake or fail to brake unexpectedly. Owners, it says, have “become beta testers” for a system that “renders Tesla vehicles dangerous.”
