Court orders Tesla to refund the price of a Model X over random Autopilot braking

[Redaktion]

Despite that a Model X driver was using the Autopilot against Tesla's guidelines, a court in Europe has ordered the company to refund them most of the price of the US$112,885 electric SUV. She reported random braking while driving with the Autopilot on and trouble with construction yard object recognition.

Can't help but feel like this is a bit of a "convenient" stunt architected by a certain part of the German business lobby - a bit like that recent announcement of the first EU level 3 certified autonomous driving system:

2016's Tesl....uh, no, sorry, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Drive Pilot System!

:D

Heh, if you've got an entire continent captive to your domestic manufacturers though, I suppose it is quite easy to accidentally lean on those kinds of levers...

My model 3 does the random breaking. I am obviously not entrepreneurial enough to sue Tesla. But it seems to interpret any light difference as objects. So here in Aus with good sunlight it brakes at the shadows formed on the road, e.g exiting a tunnel.

Auto pilot is generally not a bad feature, I would just not recommend it in city driving and leave it for the highway where it excels.

Yep, the court claiming that it's too hard for users to use the system correctly is a bit like claiming that it's too much of a bother to change from Drive to Reverse.

Tesla is not perfect, but its nav is years ahead of completion.
