Brett Schreiber, Founding Partner of Singleton Schreiber, was recently featured in an International Business Times article titled "Family Blames Elon Musk For Son's Tesla Autopilot Death: 'Deceptive Claims'." The article discusses a lawsuit filed by Singleton Schreiber on behalf of Genesis Giovanni Mendoza-Martinez’s family. The lawsuit alleges that Tesla’s Autopilot feature failed to detect and avoid a fire truck, resulting in a high-speed collision on Interstate 680 that killed Mendoza-Martinez.
Schreiber criticized Tesla for using public roadways to test incomplete technology, endangering drivers and pedestrians without issuing proper recalls for defective systems. He also accused the company of misleading consumers through deceptive marketing, which led Mendoza-Martinez to believe the Autopilot system was safer than it truly was.
The article highlights concerns over Tesla’s history of overstating its self-driving capabilities, citing thousands of complaints and crash reports related to its Autopilot system. Tesla denies the allegations, attributing the crash to driver negligence.
