Brett Schreiber, Satyasrinivas M. Hanumadass, and Carmela S. Birnbaum, attorneys at Singleton Schreiber, were recently featured in Law360 in an article titled “Expert Calls Tesla Autopilot Defective For Lack Of Geofencing.”
In the article, Schreiber, Hanumadass, and Birnbaum represent the family of Naibel Benavides Leon in a wrongful death lawsuit against Tesla, following a 2019 crash in Key Largo involving the company’s Autopilot system. Expert witness Dr. Mary “Missy” Cummings testified that Tesla failed to restrict the use of Autopilot to appropriate roadways, neglected to include adequate safety alerts, and publicly overstated the system’s capabilities. The plaintiffs are seeking both compensatory and punitive damages; the trial is expected to last three weeks.
