“The state will have a hard time proving the guilt of the human driver because some parts of the task are being handled by Tesla.”Tesla’s website says its driver assistance systems “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous,” however a study by ScienceDirect revealed drivers are less likely to pay close attention to the ride while the autopilot feature is on.“I can’t say that the driver was not at fault, but the Tesla system, autopilot, and Tesla spokespeople encourage drivers to be less attentive,” Donald Slavik, an attorney whose firm is representing Lopez’s family told Reuters.The investigation into Tesla’s autopilot systems could cause problems for prosecutors in Aziz Riad’s trial who claim the crash was caused by his failure to control his speed and his failure to brake.Despite the autopilot imperfections, Musk said in September that Tesla had a “moral obligation” to roll out the self-driving software and claimed it could save lives.“The narrative of Tesla potentially shifts from this innovative tech company doing cool things to this company just mired in legal trouble,” Walker Smith said."
