Tesla denied having fatal crash data until a hacker found it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-23 23:48:51

At the beginning of the month, Tesla was found partly liable in a wrongful death lawsuit involving the death of a pedestrian in Florida in 2019. The automaker—which could have settled the case for far less—claimed that it did not have the fatal crash's data. That's until a hacker was able to recover it from the crashed car, according to a report in The Washington Post. In the past, Tesla has been famously quick to offer up customer data stored on its servers to rebut claims made against the com

Tesla challenges $243 million verdict in Autopilot death trial

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-10-23 23:37:03

Tesla has asked a judge to nix the $243 million verdict lodged against the company in a lawsuit involving its Autopilot system, or to allow a new trial to occur, according to a new court filing. The company’s lawyers argue that the verdict, which a jury made earlier this month, “flies in the face of basic Florida tort law, the Due Process Clause, and common sense.” This latest filing by Tesla lawyers tries, once again, to rest all of the blame on the driver George McGee, who helped cause the cr

The New Tesla Model Y Performance Upgrades My Favorite Electric SUV to Supercar Speeds

It's hard to overstate how much I already liked the new Tesla Model Y. I drove it earlier this year, and it struck me as Tesla's most complete car yet. It's sharper to look at, smoother to drive, and smarter inside without trying too hard to be clever. In fact, I'd go as far as saying its the best electric car I've ever driven. But today Tesla unveiled the Model Y Performance. It's the power-packed specification of this already great electric SUV -- and it has the potential to be the best car T
