<p><span>Sebuah juri persekutuan di Miami telah memutuskan bahawa Tesla sebahagiannya bertanggungjawab terhadap satu kemalangan maut pada tahun 2019 yang melibatkan sistem Autopilot miliknya. Mahkamah mengarahkan syarikat pengeluar kenderaan elektrik itu membayar sebanyak $243 juta (kira-kira RM1.1 bilion) dalam bentuk ganti rugi punitif dan pampasan.</span></p>
<p><span>Insiden tragik itu mengorbankan seorang wanita muda berusia 22 tahun, Naibel Benavides Leon, dan mencederakan teman lelakinya, Dillon Angulo, apabila mereka dilanggar oleh sebuah Tesla Model S yang dipandu oleh George McGee. McGee dilaporkan telah terlepas telefonnya ketika memandu, lalu hilang kawalan ke atas kenderaannya. Meskipun dia mengaku kesalahan tersebut berpunca daripadanya, juri berpendapat bahawa sistem Autopilot Tesla juga gagal berfungsi dengan sewajarnya kerana tidak bertindak untuk mengelakkan kemalangan tersebut, walaupun data menunjukkan sistem itu telah mengesan tanda bahaya.</span></p>
<p><span>Antara bukti utama dalam perbicaraan adalah rakaman video yang dipulihkan dari sistem kenderaan, yang menunjukkan bahawa Autopilot berjaya mengesan tanda berhenti, lampu amaran, kenderaan lain, dan juga pejalan kaki. Namun begitu, sistem tersebut tidak memberi sebarang tindak balas atau amaran sehingga sudah terlambat untuk mengelakkan pelanggaran.</span></p>

<p><span>Hasil perbicaraan menyaksikan juri menganugerahkan $200 juta sebagai ganti rugi punitif dan $43 juta untuk ganti rugi pampasan kepada keluarga mangsa dan mangsa yang terselamat.</span></p>
<p><span>Peguam yang mewakili keluarga Leon berhujah bahawa Tesla dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutifnya, Elon Musk, telah membuat pelbagai dakwaan besar tentang keupayaan pemanduan kendiri syarikat itu, namun kurang memberikan perhatian terhadap aspek keselamatan. Mereka menyifatkan kejadian ini sebagai bukti nyata bahawa bergantung sepenuhnya kepada teknologi pemanduan autonomi yang tidak matang boleh mendatangkan bahaya besar.</span></p>
<p><span>Tesla, dalam kenyataannya, tidak bersetuju dengan keputusan juri tersebut dan menyatakan hasrat untuk membuat rayuan. Syarikat itu menegaskan bahawa punca utama kemalangan adalah kecuaian pemandu, dan memberi amaran bahawa keputusan ini mungkin akan menghalang kemajuan dalam pembangunan teknologi pemanduan kendiri pada masa hadapan.</span></p>
<p><span>Kes ini merupakan salah satu daripada hanya beberapa kes yang membabitkan sistem Autopilot Tesla yang berjaya dibawa ke mahkamah, dan ramai pemerhati industri percaya bahawa keputusan ini boleh menjadi pencetus kepada lebih banyak tindakan undang-undang terhadap syarikat tersebut. Peguam pihak plaintif berharap keputusan ini akan menjadi pengajaran kepada Tesla dan seluruh industri automotif untuk mempertingkatkan tahap keselamatan teknologi autonomi mereka dan mengelakkan tragedi yang sama daripada berulang.</span></p>
<p><span>Dalam masa yang sama, Tesla terus berdepan tekanan daripada pengawal selia dan orang ramai berkaitan isu keselamatan sistem pemanduan sendirinya. Sekiranya keputusan ini kekal, ia berpotensi menjadi satu tamparan besar terhadap usaha Tesla untuk membangunkan kereta autonomi sepenuhnya dalam masa terdekat.</span></p>

<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/tesla-found-partially-liable-in-fatal-autopilot-crash-ordered-to-pay-243-million-in-damages-1/"><img width="800" height="374" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-1024x479.png" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-179393" alt="Tesla Found Partially Liable in Fatal Autopilot Crash, Ordered to Pay $243 Million in Damages" decoding="async" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-1024x479.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-300x140.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-768x359.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-1536x719.png 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash-2048x959.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><span>The case revolved around a collision in which a Tesla Model S, driven by George McGee and equipped with Autopilot, ran through a T-shaped intersection, striking Leon and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. Leon died at the scene, while Angulo suffered severe, life-altering injuries. At the time of the crash, McGee had reportedly dropped his phone and lost control of the vehicle. Although the driver admitted fault, the jury concluded that Tesla’s software also played a significant role in the incident.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/tesla-found-partially-liable-in-fatal-autopilot-crash-ordered-to-pay-243-million-in-damages-2/"><img width="800" height="351" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-1024x449.png" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-179394" alt="Tesla Found Partially Liable in Fatal Autopilot Crash, Ordered to Pay $243 Million in Damages" decoding="async" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-1024x449.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-300x132.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-768x337.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-1536x673.png 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-Crash_2-2048x898.png 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><span>The plaintiffs were awarded $200 million in punitive damages and approximately $43 million in compensatory damages. The jury&#8217;s decision indicates that Tesla’s technology did not perform as it should have, failing to prevent the crash despite data suggesting it recognised the impending danger.</span></p>
<p><span>A crucial element in the trial was an augmented video of the collision, which incorporated data from the vehicle’s Autopilot system. Although Tesla had initially claimed the footage had been deleted, forensic experts recovered the video. Analysis of the clip revealed that the car’s system was aware of the stop sign, the blinking red light, a stationary vehicle, and the presence of pedestrians — including Leon — yet took no action to prevent the crash. The system, according to the plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys, disengaged only when a collision had become unavoidable.</span></p>
<p><span>Legal representatives for Leon’s family accused Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk of promoting the company’s valuation through exaggerated claims about self-driving capabilities, while failing to prioritise safety. They argued the crash demonstrated the potentially deadly consequences of overreliance on flawed autonomous technology.</span></p>
<p><span>Tesla has rejected the jury’s conclusion, asserting that the blame lies solely with the driver. In a statement, the company described the verdict as misguided, claiming it risks undermining progress in the development of life-saving automotive innovations. Tesla confirmed it would appeal the ruling, maintaining that Autopilot was not to blame and characterising the plaintiffs’ case as a fabrication intended to shift blame from the driver to the vehicle.</span></p>
<p><span>The Miami case is among the few to proceed to trial amid growing scrutiny of Tesla’s Autopilot system. While several similar lawsuits have been filed, many have been dismissed or resolved without a trial. Legal experts now believe this decision could mark a turning point for Tesla and the wider industry. Observers suggest the ruling could prompt an influx of litigation, with other victims and families potentially encouraged to come forward.</span></p>
<p><span>Attorneys for the plaintiffs expressed hope that the outcome would send a message to Tesla and the broader automotive industry. They stressed that the lawsuit was not just about accountability for one tragic incident, but about driving systemic improvements to prevent further loss of life.</span></p>
<p><span>Tesla continues to face regulatory pressure and public criticism over the safety of its self-driving features, even as it works to expand the role of automation in its vehicles. This latest ruling, if upheld on appeal, may pose a significant challenge to the company&#8217;s efforts to position itself at the forefront of autonomous driving technology.</span></p>

<p><span>Sebuah Tesla Model S di Tijuana, Mexico, terbakar selepas disambungkan ke talian kuasa yang tidak dibenarkan, menyebabkan kebakaran kepada kenderaan serta rumah jiran. Insiden ini menyoroti risiko yang berkaitan dengan sambungan elektrik haram yang dikenali di Mexico sebagai &#8220;diablito&#8221; atau &#8220;syaitan kecil.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Butiran Insiden:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Punca Kebakaran</strong>: Tesla Model S dilaporkan disambungkan kepada sambungan kuasa yang tidak dibenarkan, yang merupakan amalan biasa di Mexico. Sambungan tanpa kebenaran ini menyebabkan kerugian kewangan yang besar bagi syarikat kuasa, berjumlah lebih $2 bilion setiap tahun. Sambungan haram ini sering digunakan di tapak pembinaan dan boleh menimbulkan risiko kebakaran yang serius.</li>

<p><span>A Tesla Model S in Tijuana, Mexico, caught fire after being plugged into an unauthorised power connection, leading to significant damage to the vehicle and a neighbouring house. The incident underscores the risks associated with illegal electrical hookups, known locally as &#8220;diablito&#8221; or &#8220;little devil.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Incident Details:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cause of Fire:</strong> The Tesla Model S was reportedly connected to a stolen power line, a common practice in Mexico where unauthorised connections to the national grid result in substantial financial losses for the power company, totalling over $2 billion annually. These illicit connections are often used at construction sites and can pose serious fire hazards.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/tesla-fire-in-mexico-linked-to-unauthorised-power-connection-1/"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="334" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59-1024x427.jpg" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-206287" alt="Tesla Fire in Mexico Linked to Unauthorised Power Connection" decoding="async" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59-300x125.jpg 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59-768x320.jpg 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59-1536x640.jpg 1536w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Banner-Article-1800-x-750-2-59.jpg 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fire Response:</strong> The Tijuana Fire Department responded swiftly to the blaze. Arturo Sánchez from the department indicated that while this was their first encounter with a Tesla fire, local fire crews have been trained to handle EV-related fires. The fire was contained before it could cause further damage, but it did spread to a neighbouring house. Fortunately, the house was unoccupied, and no injuries were reported.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://thepistonshow.com/galleries/tesla-fire-in-mexico-linked-to-unauthorised-power-connection-2/"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="509" src="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-model-s-fire-mexico_1-1024x652.png" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-206288" alt="Tesla Fire in Mexico Linked to Unauthorised Power Connection" decoding="async" srcset="https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-model-s-fire-mexico_1-1024x652.png 1024w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-model-s-fire-mexico_1-300x191.png 300w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-model-s-fire-mexico_1-768x489.png 768w, https://thepistonshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/PISTON.MY-Tesla-model-s-fire-mexico_1.png 1364w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Damage Assessment:</strong> The exact extent of the damage to the Tesla Model S is not yet known, but the fire&#8217;s impact on the vehicle and the neighbouring house was significant. Given the severity, repairing the Tesla might not be economically viable.</li>
</ul>
<p><span>This incident highlights the dangers associated with illegal power connections and the potential for serious consequences, including fires that can endanger both people and property.</span></p>
