The ruling came in a lawsuit against Tesla, filed by the family of Walter Huang who was killed in a car crash in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Huang\u2019s family argues Tesla\u2019s partially automated driving software failed. The carmaker contends Huang was playing a video game on his phone before the crash and disregarded vehicle warnings. The attorneys for Huang\u2019s family sought to depose Musk regarding recorded statements from 2016 in which he allegedly said: \u201cA Model S and Model X, at this point, can drive autonomously with greater safety than a person. Right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tesla, however, opposed the request in court filings, arguing that Musk, the Tesla CEO, cannot recall details about the statement and questioning the authenticity of the recording. \u201c[Musk], like many public figures, is the subject of many \u2018deepfake\u2019 videos and audio recordings that purport to show him saying and doing things he never actually said or did,\u201d Tesla said.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Evette Pennypacker tentatively ordered a limited, three-hour deposition where Musk could be asked whether he actually made the statements on the recordings, and called Tesla\u2019s arguments deeply troubling&#8217;.<br \/>\n\u00b4\u201cTheir position is that because Mr Musk is famous and might be more of a target for deep fakes, his public statements are immune,\u201d Pennypacker wrote, adding that such arguments would allow Musk and other famous people \u201cto avoid taking ownership of what they did actually say and do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2016 video of Musk speaking at a conference was uploaded to YouTube, and shows the Tesla CEO making the statement that the attorneys for Huang\u2019s family refer to. California judges often issue tentative rulings which are then finalised after a hearing with few major changes. Tesla and an attorney for Huang\u2019s family did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit is scheduled to go into trial on 31 July, adding to growing legal and regulatory scrutiny over Tesla\u2019s Autopilot system. A California state court jury on Friday found Autopilot did not fail in what appeared to be the first trial related to a crash involving the software.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2023\/apr\/27\/elon-musks-statements-could-be-deepfakes-tesla-defence-lawyers-tell-court\">The Guardian<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/105656\/\">Elon Musk\u2019s statements could be \u2018deepfakes\u2019, Tesla defence lawyers tell court<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9736,4840,9737,2333,1146,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-113781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-deepfakes","tag-elon-musk","tag-layers","tag-statement","tag-tesla","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
