Tesla's Autopilot system is in the spotlight at a Miami trial over a student killed while stargazing
NEW YORK (AP) — A rare trial against Elon Musk's car company began Monday in Miami where a jury will decide if it is partly to blame for the death of a stargazing university student after a runaway Tesla sent her flying 75 feet through the air and severely injured her boyfriend. Lawyers for the plaintiff argue that Tesla's driver-assistance feature called Autopilot should have warned the driver and braked when his Model S sedan blew through flashing red lights, a stop sign and a T-intersection at nearly 70 miles an hour in the April 2019 crash. Tesla lays the blame solely on the driver, who was reaching for a dropped cell phone. 'The evidence clearly shows that this crash had nothing to do with Tesla's Autopilot technology,' Tesla said in a statement. 'Instead, like so many unfortunate accidents since cellphones were invented, this was caused by a distracted driver.' The driver, George McGee, was sued separately by the plaintiffs. That case was settled. A judgement against Tesla could be especially damaging as the company works to convince the public its self-driving technology is safe during a planned rollout of hundreds of thousands of Tesla robotaxis on U.S. roads by the end of next year. A jury trial is rare for the company, whose suits over crashes are often dismissed or settled, and this one is rarer yet because a judge recently ruled that the family of the stricken Naibel Benavides Leon can argue for punitive damages. The judge, Beth Bloom of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, issued a partial summary judgement last month, throwing out charges of defective manufacturing and negligent misrepresentation against Tesla. But she also ruled plaintiffs could argue other claims that would make the company liable and ask for punitive damages, which could prove costly. 'A reasonable jury could find that Tesla acted in reckless disregard of human life for the sake of developing their product and maximizing profit,' Bloom said in a filing. The 2021 lawsuit alleges the driver relied on Autopilot to reduce speed or come to a stop when it detected objects in its way, including a parked Chevrolet Tahoe that Benavides and her boyfriend, Dillon Angulo, had gotten out of near Key West, Florida, to look up at the sky. The Tesla rammed the Tahoe at highway speeds, causing it to rotate and slam into Benavides, tossing her into a wooded area and killing her. In legal documents, Tesla denied nearly all of the lawsuit's allegations and said it expects that consumers will follow warnings in the vehicle and instructions in the owners' manual, as well as comply with driving laws. Tesla warns owners in manuals that its cars cannot drive themselves and they need to be ready to intervene at all times. Plaintiff lawyers argue that Tesla should have a geofenced its Autopilot so it only worked on the big roads it was designed for and drivers couldn't use it on smaller roads such as the rural one where Benavides was killed. They also say data and video evidence shows the Autopilot did detect the Tahoe but then failed to warn the driver as they claim it should have done. Tesla has since improved its driver-assistance and partial self-driving features, but still faces lawsuits and investigations over what critics say is a gap between its exaggerated depictions of how well they work and what they can actually do. Federal auto safety regulators recalled 2.3 million Teslas in 2023 for problems with Autopilot failing to sufficiently alert drivers if they weren't paying attention to the road. They then put Tesla under investigation last year for saying it fixed the problem though it was unclear it actually did that. Musk has also continued to make public comments suggesting Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' technology, a more advanced version of Autopilot, allows cars to drive themselves, despite warnings from regulators not to do so because it could lead to overreliance on the systems, crashes and deaths. That technology has been involved in three fatal crashes and is under investigation of its ability to see in low-visibility conditions such as sunlight glare or fog. Tesla is promising a much more robust self-driving technology to power its robotaxis with no one behind the wheel. A test run in Austin, Texas, of the taxis appears to have gone mostly well, though there are scattered problems, such as a case when one cab went down the opposing lane. —— Former AP auto writer Krisher reported from Detroit.

Should You Buy Tesla Stock Before July 23? The Answer Might Surprise You.
Tesla's autonomous driving business could be worth trillions in the future, according to certain Wall Street analysts. More than 70% of Tesla's revenue still comes from selling passenger electric vehicles, and this business is suffering a concerning decline. Tesla will report its financial results for the second quarter of 2025 on July 23, and they probably won't be great. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) is one of the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, but many Wall Street analysts are more focused on emerging products like its full-self driving (FSD) software and its Optimus humanoid robot. In fact, the company's EV business appears to be in decline right now. On July 2, Tesla published its delivery numbers for the second quarter of 2025 (ended June 30), and they dropped yet again from a year ago. The company will report its financial results for the same period on July 23, which will show investors how its revenue and earnings were impacted by the sluggish EV business. If history is any guide, CEO Elon Musk will probably offer an update on Tesla's self-driving and robotics businesses on the day as well, which could determine the direction of its stock price. With that in mind, should investors buy in ahead of July 23? The answer might surprise you. In 2023, Musk told investors that Tesla could grow its EV production by 50% per year for the foreseeable future. But in 2024, the company's deliveries shrank by 1% (year over year) to 1.79 million units, marking the first annual decline in sales since the launch of the Model S in 2011. Tesla can't increase production -- especially not by 50% annually -- if the cars aren't selling. The declines have accelerated in 2025. Tesla delivered 720,803 cars through the first six months of the year, which was down 13% compared to the same period in 2024. During the first quarter (ended March 31), the decline in deliveries triggered a 9% drop in the company's total revenue, and a whopping 71% collapse in its earnings per share. Its second-quarter results might be similar when they are released on July 23. It won't be easy for Tesla to turn its EV business around because it's fighting external headwinds like increased competition. For instance, Tesla's EV sales plummeted by 60% in Germany during June, despite EV sales growing by 8.6% overall across the country. The company is ceding market share to other manufacturers like China-based BYD, which saw its sales nearly quadruple in Germany last month. Tesla is experiencing the same struggles in most of its biggest geographical markets, because it simply can't compete with the prices Chinese manufacturers are charging. BYD sells its entry-level Seagull EV for under $10,000 in its domestic market, and MG Motor sells its ES5 EV for under $14,000. Both of those brands entered Europe at much lower price points than Tesla, leaving Musk and his team with a very difficult decision: participate in a destructive race-to-the-bottom price war, or shift Tesla's focus elsewhere. The main reason Tesla isn't designing a fleet of ultra-low-cost EVs is because Musk believes the future of mobility is autonomous. He is directing the company's resources into the Cybercab robotaxi, which is expected to go into mass production sometime in 2026. It will run on Tesla's FSD software so it won't require any human input to function. The Cybercab will autonomously haul passengers through a ride-hailing network Tesla plans to create, generating revenue for the company around the clock. Wall Street analyst Dan Ives from Wedbush Securities believes this will add $1 trillion to Tesla's valuation over the next year or so, and he isn't the only bull. Cathie Wood's Ark Investment Management predicts Tesla's autonomous ride-hailing business will generate $756 billion in annual revenue by 2029, catapulting the company to an $8 trillion valuation. However, Tesla's FSD software isn't approved for unsupervised use anywhere in the U.S. right now. The company is currently testing its ride-hailing service using its passenger EVs, with a version of FSD that requires a human supervisor in the passenger seat at all times. It's up and running in Austin, Texas, and is in the process of expanding into Phoenix and San Francisco. Unfortunately, that means Tesla is already behind in the robotaxi business. Alphabet's Waymo completes over 250,000 fully autonomous, paid trips every week across four U.S. cities, and it's partnered with Uber Technologies, which operates the world's largest ride-hailing network. In other words, Waymo is already operating at a scale that could take years for Tesla to match, so the EV giant is at a serious disadvantage before the Cybercab even hits the streets. Musk is likely to provide an updated roadmap for FSD and the Cybercab on July 23, which investors will probably focus on more than the performance of the company's EV business. Despite the enthusiasm surrounding Tesla's robotaxi business, EV sales still account for 72% of the company's total revenue. Autonomous ride-hailing will take years to scale -- if it's successful at all -- so it won't be generating enough income to offset Tesla's struggling EV business anytime soon. That brings me to Tesla's valuation. Its stock is trading at an eye-popping price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 172.2, making it 5 times more expensive than the Nasdaq-100 index, which trades at a P/E ratio of 32.3. The Nasdaq-100 is home to all of Tesla's big-tech peers, so the EV giant is substantially more expensive than the likes of Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon, on average. Since Tesla's EV sales declined in the second quarter, the company's earnings will probably shrink like they did in the first quarter. That means its P/E ratio is likely to soar even higher after July 23, unless its stock declines sharply. As a result, I don't think Tesla stock is a good buy ahead of the upcoming report, and I don't think it will look very attractive in the aftermath, either.
