A Utah man whose wife, two daughters, son-in-law, and family dog were crushed to death when their Tesla Model X suddenly crossed a road’s center line and slammed head-on into a tractor-trailer, claims the electric carmaker and CEO Elon Musk negligently lulled him into a “false sense of security” about the vehicle’s purported autonomous capabilities.
In a 33-page lawsuit reviewed by The Independent, Nathan Blaine accuses Tesla and Musk of having “intentionally misrepresented the safety of their vehicles” and the driver-assistance features.
