<h5>Which Tesla car faced the faulty technical issue?</h5><p>Imagine a person sitting in a self-driving car, enjoying the view as it drives to its destination. Suddenly, the car's self-driving technology stops working correctly and causes an accident. No one would like that.</p><p>A similar event with a Tesla Model 3 car occurred in 2019, resulting in a deadly crash. The car collided with a truck that had turned onto the road into the path of driver Stephen Banner. The collision caused the death of Banner.</p><p>Recently, a judge named Reid Scott has found proof that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/who-is-elon-musk">Elon Musk</a> and other Tesla officials knew the company's self-driving technology was faulty. Still, they allowed the cars to be used in an unsafe manner.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/judge-finds-tesla-being-aware-about-faulty-self-driving-technology%2F2019_Tesla_Model_3.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=cb886ae2-29e4-4641-883e-3a83856428c1"><figcaption>A Tesla Model 3 car.

The decision is a setback for Tesla, as the company won two cases in California over faults related to its autopilot driver assistance system earlier this year.</p><p>No one from Tesla has spoken about the recent decision. The Florida judge also discovered proof that Tesla advertised its cars as self-driving, and Elon Musk’s comments convinced people about the product’s capabilities.</p><p>The judge also said the crash was similar to one that happened in 2016 involving a person named Joshua Brown. In this crash, the autopilot system failed to identify crossing trucks, causing the vehicle to crash at high speed. The judge said that it can be assumed that Tesla was aware of the issue with the autopilot.</p><p>So, we will have to see what action is taken against Tesla and how they defend themselves.</p><h5>What did we learn from this article?</h5><p>We can learn the value of honesty and responsibility. Companies and individuals must be honest about what their products can do, particularly regarding safety. Not being honest about faulty products can cause injury and even death to others.</p><p>Also, every action has effects; if someone does something terrible, they will be punished. Companies should prioritise customer safety instead of only trying to make money.</p>

In 2019, a Tesla Model 3 was involved in a tragic crash due to a known self-driving technology fault.
