Tesla Prevails in Suit Alleging Frozen Touchscreen Caused Crash

MT Newswires Live01-14

Tesla (TSLA) won a product-liability lawsuit brought by a driver who claimed a frozen touchscreen in her 2021 Model 3 caused her to lose control and crash in March 2022.

A federal judge found Robyn Nicole Wilson-Wolfe lacked expert support and failed to demonstrate a defect or a causal link between the alleged screen failure and the accident, a court document dated Monday showed.

Tesla said vehicle diagnostics showed no evidence of a blacked-out display and argued that core driving functions would have remained operable even if the screen had malfunctioned.

Judge Nelson Roman of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed all claims and entered judgment for Tesla, denying Wilson-Wolfe's request for additional discovery.
