The lawsuits are coming, sure, it's US. People sue each other for sports. I'd be disappointed if they didn't sue Tesla ten times a year.

I'll listen when any of those actually results in Tesla being found at fault after a final decision.

I'm curious, can someone explain why this is getting downvoted? My entire comment was just links to 3 news articles.

Trying to figure out have I broken some rule here? Or is this topic really controversial?

Simple answer: the thread has become a tribal flame war. It's not about the content of your comment, but which side you're on.

That said, negative karma on such comments is usually transient, and for that reason, HN guidelines recommended that you don't complain about downvotes. Such cases typically self-correct after a few hours.
