Tesla is seeking Apple's testimony in its defense against a lawsuit related to a fatal crash involving its Autopilot system in 2018. Tesla aims to prove that the victim, an Apple engineer, was playing a video game on his phone at the time of the accident. The victim's family accuses Tesla of secretly collaborating with Apple to support its defense. The National Transportation Safety Board's investigation revealed a pattern of active game play on the victim's phone leading up to the crash. Tesla plans to call an Apple engineer as a witness, which the victim's family argues is an attempt to circumvent the discovery process. The trial is significant for Tesla's efforts to deflect blame for accidents involving its Autopilot system.
