Tesla electric and self-driving vehicles are increasing in popularity, and the maker is a leader in automotive and self-driving technology. With all its advances, though, Tesla cars have been involved in several serious and fatal accidents. If you were involved in one, our team at Isaacs & Isaacs Personal Injury Lawyers will help you fight for the financial compensation you are entitled to receive.
If you or someone you love were injured in a collision with a Tesla, our Evansville Tesla accident lawyer can help you prove the cause of the accident and assess the monetary aftermath of your injuries, property damages, and related expenses. We will also help you determine who is responsible for compensating you for these costs and negotiate a settlement to help cover them.
How Autopilot Drives Tesla Vehicles
Autopilot is an innovative, forward-thinking program developed by Tesla. It uses progressive technology to give its vehicles full self-driving abilities. These cars also rely on ongoing software updates and enhancements that increase and improve functionality with time.
The four Tesla vehicle models with current Autopilot technology include:
- Tesla 3
- Tesla S
- Tesla X
- Tesla Y
With Autopilot, these vehicles can self-park, steer themselves, and detect surrounding traffic patterns to enable advanced cruise control options. They can also maneuver themselves out of tight spots and initiate lane changes.
Even with all these capabilities in place, Tesla cars equipped with Autopilot still rely, in some measure, on driver involvement.
Tesla Self-Driving Car Accident Statistics
AI Multiple research reports two accidents involving Tesla’s self-driving cars that were fatal for the driver. Vehicles included in these accidents were:
- A Tesla Model 3
- A Tesla Model S
Unfortunately, Tesla drivers can become complacent about their role in the operation of a vehicle when their involvement seems minimal. If human factors combined with vehicle issues caused your accident, we can help.
When our law firm represents you, our investigation will follow the pattern of accidents involving conventional cars. It will also delve into the role of automation, human error, software malfunctions, and faulty sensors that might not otherwise have been a factor.
