The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.

    The real crime is marketing the driver assist capability under the name autopilot when it is anything but that.

      Do we need to go through what autopilot in a plane or boat actually does again?

    The guy was going through a suburb at 75 mph blowing through stop lights. Ofcourse he has to pay, im surprised hes not getting jail time. This has nothing to do with the car, thats just gross negligence

    2 murders, 23 grand. The mafia charge more.

    If you wanna kill somebody, use a car.
