SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – The parents of a motorcyclist who was killed in a 2022 crash involving a Tesla Model 3 on Autopilot in Utah sued the electric carmaker and the vehicle’s driver, claiming that the driver assistant software and other safety features are “defective and inadequate.”
Landon Embry, 34, died on the scene after the Model 3 put on Autopilot at 75-80 miles per hour struck the back of his Harley Davidson motorcycle, throwing him from the bike, according to the lawsuit filed in state court in Salt Lake City last week.
The lawsuit claims the driver of the Model 3 was “tired” and “not in a condition to drive as an ordinarily prudent driver.”
The complaint said the Autopilot sensors such as cameras “should have identified the hazard posed by Decedent’s motorcycle in its presence.”
