Tesla Blames Driver in Fatal Car Crash

On Wednesday, Tesla more explicitly assigned blame to the driver. "The crash happened on a clear day with several hundred feet of visibility ahead, which means that the only way for this accident to have occurred is if Mr. Huang wasn't paying attention to the road, despite the car providing multiple warnings to do so," a Tesla spokesman said in a statement. Earlier on Wednesday, San Francisco-based Minami Tamaki LLP announced in a statement that the family had retained its services and plans to file a wrongful-death lawsuit. The family appeared on local television on Tuesday night defending Mr. Huang's driving. "The firm believes Tesla's Autopilot feature is defective and likely caused Huang's death, despite Tesla's apparent attempt to blame the victim of this terrible tragedy," the law firm said in a statement.
