Tesla Lawyers Suggest Elon Musk's Self-Driving Statements Could Be Deepfakes

Tesla has claimed that CEO Elon Musk's statements on self-driving "might have been deep fakes" in a lawsuit brought by the family of a Tesla owner who died in an accident while using Autopilot. The automaker is trying to keep Musk and his statements out of the case, but the judge has ruled that Musk should be made available for an interview of up to three hours to discuss his statements about Tesla Autopilot and Full Self-Driving. The Huang family is trying to use the argument that some of Musk's comments about Autopilot and self-driving have led Huang to believe he could use Autopilot in the manner that led to the crash.
