Recently, Nathan Bryan, a resident of Utah, initiated legal proceedings against Tesla, alleging that the company engaged in deceptive marketing practices concerning its Autopilot system. He asserts that a flaw in this system precipitated a tragic car accident that claimed the lives of a family of four. During the incident, 46-year-old Jennifer was at the wheel of her 2022 Model X, accompanied by her family members, when the vehicle unexpectedly veered across the center line and collided head-first with a truck, causing the deaths of all those inside.

Nathan has accused Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, of overstating the autonomous driving capabilities of their vehicles, thereby instilling a 'false sense of security' in consumers and displaying a blatant disregard for safety. The lawsuit also highlights that Musk's promotional statements about the technology were primarily intended to create buzz and inflate the company's stock value. It is noted that during the accident, Tesla's Auto Steer feature exhibited significant malfunctions, and several safety mechanisms failed to operate as intended. As of now, Tesla's legal representative is unavailable due to being on vacation, and a company spokesperson has yet to issue a statement in response to the allegations.
