Airline stocks could keep running if they keep capacity under control, Jim Cramer says Tesla didn't respond to requests for comment about the case. Brett Schreiber, an attorney representing the Mendoza family, declined to make his clients available for an interview. There are at least 15 other active cases focused on similar claims involving Tesla incidents where Autopilot or its FSD — Full Self-Driving (Supervised) — had been in use just before a fatal or injurious crash. Three of those have been moved to federal courts. FSD is the premium version of Tesla's partially automated driving system. While Autopilot comes as a standard option in all new Tesla vehicles, owners pay an up-front premium, or subscribe monthly to use FSD. The crash at the center of the Mendoza-Martinez lawsuit has also been part of a broader Tesla Autopilot investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, initiated in August 2021. During the course of that investigation, Tesla made changes to its systems, including with a myriad of over-the-air software updates. The agency has opened a second probe, which is ongoing, evaluating whether Tesla's "recall remedy" to resolve issues with the behavior of Autopilot around stationary first responder vehicles had been effective. NHTSA has warned Tesla that its social media posts may mislead drivers into thinking its cars are robotaxis. Additionally, the California Department of Motor Vehicles has sued Tesla, alleging its Autopilot and FSD claims amounted to false advertising. Tesla is currently rolling out a new version of FSD to customers. Over the weekend, Musk instructed his 206.5 million-plus followers on X to "Demonstrate Tesla self-driving to a friend tomorrow," adding that, "It feels like magic." Musk has been promising investors that Tesla's cars would soon be able to drive autonomously, without a human at the wheel, since about 2014. While the company has shown off a design concept for an autonomous two-seater called the CyberCab, Tesla has yet to produce a robotaxi. Meanwhile, competitors including WeRide and Pony.ai in China, and Alphabet's Waymo in the U.S. are already operating commercial robotaxi fleets and services.
