Tesla sued over fatal crash in Texas home that killed 76-year-old woman

The family of a 76-year-old woman killed when a Tesla Model 3 crashed into her Katy, Texas, home has sued Tesla and the driver, alleging the company’s β€œAutopilot” and β€œFull Self-Driving” systems are defectively designed.

The wrongful death suit lands just days after the crash β€” and it leans on the same argument that produced last year’s landmark $243 million Autopilot verdict against Tesla in Florida.
