We are alive for a new episode of the Electric Podcast.

I am Fred Lambert, your host, and as usual, I'm joined by Seth Wintram.

Are you doing today, Seth?

I'm good.

All right.

We're going to start off with some breaking news that just came out in the last hour or so.

So we reported over the last few weeks on Tesla being for almost a month now in its first

trial over a wrongful debt regarding a fatal accident involving one of its ADAS system. In this case, it's an autopilot crash because

it's back in the 2019. But it's a very interesting one because Tesla has settled a few of these

cases in the last few months. So that they've reached through the court process, they were getting further and further, but none of them went all the way to trial.

And then this one did.

And it's not clear why.

It's not clear if it's a situation where Tesla tried to settle and they wouldn't settle or if Tesla didn't want to settle and

wanted to push to trial. But it went to trial either way and it's been like that for three

weeks now. So a bunch of back and forth between the plaintiff. We'll have, let's name them

because they are the one of them is dead unfortunately.

So it's Nadal Benavides and Dylan Angulo.

So if you don't remember, a quick recap to what happened, it's George Meggie is the driver

of a model S, a brand new 2019 model S in April 2019 in Kilaurgo, Florida.

And he was driving and he dropped his phone.

You know, shouldn't have your phone in your hand to start with, but he dropped it,

like in between the seat cushion or whatever.
