Elon Musk likely to testify under oath about his Autopilot tweets

Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk is likely to testify in a lawsuit in the US that blamed Autopilot for a fatal crash in 2018.

The family of Walter Huang, an Apple engineer who died after his Tesla Model X with Autopilot engaged crashed after hitting a highway barrier, had sued Tesla in California Superior Court, County of Santa Clara.

Now, a California judge has ordered Musk to “be interviewed under oath” in the case, reports TechCrunch.

The plaintiff attorneys wanted to bring Musk to court to testify on recorded statements the billionaire made about Autopilot.
