The case is believed to be the first time that U.S. prosecutors have brought felony charges against a motorist who was using a partially automated driving system.
Sure but even looking a only the financial produce of one person for a family dwarfs the comical 23k here. And that’s not even looking at the emotional side of things. 23k is straight insulting imho.
Seeing as they were using the now being recalled Tesla auto pilot during the auto accident, it may not entirely be the drivers fault. This may be part of the rational behind the judgement.
Tesla should be out millions for this. The autopilot feature is a gimmick and not at all transparent. They’re beta testing on the public and people are dying because of it. This is a corporate decision that needs to have corporate consequences over and above legal ones. People shouldn’t just be getting minor fines, they should be going to prison and losing absolutely everything.
While I agree the name is misleading to the point of irresponsibility, if you buy a Tesla and you do not know what the auto pilot is capable of doing and not doing, then you are not responsible enough to use the auto pilot feature. Ignorance simply because of a name is not an excuse.

Two people were killed, so you’re really talking 11.5k.

Consistent and clear pattern of lying to everyone, minimizing, and shifting blame with clear motivation of personal profits.
Fully agree on prison time.

That’s life insurances job, this would be on top of life insurance, and is more about where the money comes than where it is going.
