The lawsuit was filed by the family of Johna Story, who was killed in 2023 when a Model Y using the system struck her as she directed traffic around another accident. This case marked the first reported pedestrian fatality linked to Tesla's automated driving technology and prompted an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration into the system's performance in low visibility.
