Jeff Goldman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com A New Jersey man has sued Tesla months after his parents and sister died in a crash on the Garden State Parkway in one of the vehicles last year. In a wrongful death suit filed Monday in federal court in Camden, Max Dryerman and the estate representing his family members allege the braking system and other features of the 2024 Tesla model S were defective and unsafe. It also alleges the “Autopilot” and self-driving features would have prevented the car from veering off the toll road had they been functioning properly. Features such as forward collision warning, lane departure avoidance and emergency lane departure were defective, the suit alleged. The crash took place at 11:55 p.m. on Sept. 14, 2024 in the area of Parkway milepost 131.1 in Woodbridge. The northbound Tesla ran off the road to the left, hit a sign, a guardrail, and a concrete bridge support. The driver, David Dryerman, 54; front-seat passenger Michele D. Dryerman, 54; and back-seat passenger Brooke D. Dryerman, 17, all of Woodcliff Lake in Bergen County, were killed. All three were wearing seat belts. The three were on their way home from an outdoor concert, the suit said. Max Dryerman was 19 and away at college at the time of the crash. Tesla didn’t respond to a request for comment from NJ Advance Media. State Police declined to comment on the results of the investigation and directed NJ Advance Media to submit an open public records request.
