• Kirkland family sues Tesla, says autopilot surged through red light violently enough to burst tires (king5.com) — A Kirkland father and his teenage daughter say their Tesla Model X suddenly accelerated through a red light at 144th Street NE and 124th Avenue NE, violently enough to burst the tires and cause injuries. Their new federal lawsuit claims Tesla's Autopilot malfunctioned, failed to respond to braking or steering, and that the company overstated the system's safety, and they're seeking compensation for medical costs, emotional distress, and higher insurance premiums.
