Alex Gibney: “A lot of these deaths related to Full Self Driving or Autopilot, 67 so far. If that had happened at GM over a brake malfunction, it would be massive congressional hearings. A lot of those things were settled so the actual facts of the matter wouldn’t come to light. In the film, we have the case of one which is a pedestrian who was killed by a runaway Tesla with malfunctioning Autopilot. They took that to trial and won a rather massive judgement and the evidence is overwhelming not only how bad the system was, but also how hard Tesla tried to hide the evidence of malfeasance. In a lot of cases, Autopilot has a function where milliseconds before the car slams into a wall, Autopilot will turn off, and so Tesla can say with a straight face Autopilot was not engaged at the time of the crash”
