Tesla has faced a string of lawsuits over the past five years stemming from fatal crashes involving cars equipped with its Autopilot driver-assist system.
The automaker has settled some of the lawsuits and others have been dismissed, allowing the company to avoid any legal judgments about Autopilot’s safety and whether it is flawed.
