Tesla recalls nearly all vehicles sold in US to fix system that monitors drivers using Autopilot::Tesla is recalling nearly all vehicles sold in the U.S., more than 2 million, to update software and fix a defective system when using Autopilot.
This case went to trial already and the jury sided with Tesla because the driver was holding his foot on the accelerator to override cruise control, ignored the vehicles warnings, drove through numerous flashing lights, crashed through a stop sign, and then hit the couple, later stating “I expect to be the driver and be responsible for this… I was highly aware that was still my responsibility to operate the vehicle safely." Any vehicle is capable of doing this with a reckless driver behind the wheel.
You may be confused, there’s a lot of Tesla court cases to keep track of tho, I should have been specific.

You may be confused as I’m referring to the case from Angulo who was being quoted in the above comment.
I don’t see how a dispute between the California DMV and Tesla over the terms “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving” make Autopilot any more dangerous than calling it something else and other companies use similar names like “ProPilot” or “PilotAssist” for their LKAS systems.
