Tesla settled a US lawsuit regarding Autopilot's culpability in a fatal crash hours before the trial was due to start. The family of Wei Lun Huang sued Tesla alleging that in 2018 Wei Lun died due to defects in Autopilot and spent years getting Tesla to take responsibility despite the NTSB's investigation saying "Autopilot had failed to keep the vehicle in its lane and that its collision-avoidance software had failed to detect a highway barrier" despite the fact "Mr. Huang had probably been distracted". Due to the settlement, none of Tesla's documentation will be made public and their decision making will not be examined by the court.
