Summary
Tesla has quietly settled a lawsuit over a 2023 fatal crash in Arizona where a pedestrian was struck and killed by a Tesla Model Y operating on Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode. The victim, 71-year-old Johna Story, had exited her vehicle to help direct traffic around earlier crashes caused by sun glare. This was the first known pedestrian fatality linked to Tesla's FSD system, and the crash triggered a federal defect investigation into the company's automated-driving technology.
