A Utah woman is suing Tesla, saying her Model S crashed into another car while it was in Autopilot mode earlier this year in South Jordan.
The Tesla Model S, which the woman bought in 2016, is advertised to have “enhanced Autopilot,” including 360 degrees of visibility and 250 meters of “forward protection,” the woman’s attorney’s wrote in a news release. At some point, an auto repair shop replaced a sensor in hers, according to the lawsuit.
In May, the woman was using the car’s Autopilot mode, heading south on Bangerter Highway in South Jordan, when the car approached traffic that had come to a complete stop, the lawsuit states.
