A South Korean court dismissed a lawsuit brought by dozens of Tesla Inc. owners seeking refunds from the automaker for failing to deliver driver-assistance technology on time.
原告曾要求每人最高退还900万韩元(约合5800美元),理由是未能完全使用特斯拉的FSD套餐。首尔中央地方法院周四驳回了这些诉讼请求,称该公司已通过软件更新交付了部分功能。
The plaintiffs had demanded reimbursement of as much as 9 million won ($5,800) each for not getting full access to Tesla’s FSD package. Seoul’s central district court on Thursday rejected the claims, saying the company had delivered some capabilities through software updates.
“被告有义务交付在国内外监管和法律限制范围内技术可行的自动驾驶功能,原告确实获得了FSD套餐中包含的一些功能,”法官金锡范表示。
“The defendant was obligated to deliver autonomous driving features that are technically feasible within domestic and international regulatory and legal limits, and the plaintiffs were indeed provided with some features included in the FSD package,” Judge Kim Seok-beom said.
这项裁决对特斯拉来说是一大利好,该公司正寻求在北美以外地区获得更多FSD批准。在北美,该软件及其营销方式引发了监管反弹。该公司最近调整了对部分驾驶辅助技术的描述,以争取在包括欧洲在内的市场获得批准。
The ruling is a boon for Tesla as it seeks more approvals for FSD outside North America, where the software and how it’s been marketed has sparked regulatory pushback. The company recently adjusted how it describes some of the driver-assistance technology as it works to win clearance in markets including Europe.
特斯拉于2017年开始在韩国销售FSD选项,但由于监管和软件部署限制,当地买家无法使用包括城市导航和自动泊车在内的关键功能。
Tesla began selling the FSD option in South Korea in 2017, but local buyers were unable to access key capabilities including urban navigation and automatic parking because of regulatory and software deployment constraints.
车主团体于2024年提起诉讼,称特斯拉未能在合理期限内提供承诺的功能,违反了根据韩国民法规定的合同义务。
The owners’ group sued in 2024, arguing Tesla had breached its contractual obligations under South Korean civil law by failing to provide the promised features within a reasonable period.
