Case likely to shape a lot of other lawsuits
This case, however, won't be seen as a win for Tesla opponents who have been seeking to take the company to task over Autopilot claims: Hsu was awarded zero damages, and the jurythat Tesla did everything right related to disclosing Autopilot's functionality. The jury also found the Autopilot and airbag systems in Hsu's car didn't fail, either.
Tesla denied liability in the case, and among other arguments said that Hsu was using Autopilot on city streets, which the vehicle's user manual says the system shouldn't be used for, Tesla's lawyers claimed. The jurors by and large seemed to side with Tesla; they returned decisions that found the 2016 Model S's Autopilot feature performed adequately, as did the vehicle's airbag. Tesla further didn't make false statements to Ms. Hsu, nor did it fail to disclose a fact that Hsu"did not know and could not reasonably have discovered."Future cases take note
Hsu's case may be the first to end in a verdict, but it's hardly the only case being heard in courts over Tesla's Autopilot software and the safety and/or efficacy thereof.
