Tesla has received a lawsuit from the family of software engineer Wei Huang, who died when his Model X crashed into a highway safety barrier in 2018 while in Autopilot. The claim states the vehicle lacked an emergency braking system and other safety features supported by most vehicles on the market, and on more recent Model X iterations. According to the owner’s manual, however, Model is equipped with emergency braking. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report in June 2018 attributed the crash to an error made by the Autopilot system.
