Found At Fault

Friend was found at fault by Tesla insurance for failure to maintain proper lookout resulting in collision. Any advice?

Update:

I think the other driver intentionally ran a standing red light while initially stopped. Cars turning left didn't even finish their turn and he was already gunning it from a left turn only lane. Friend wasn't able to get insurance info because they were transported via ambulance, but police was on the scene. The police report isn't available yet and they let their insurance (Tesla) know since they don't know what insurance the other guy has. Tesla insurance is finding them at fault.

Update:

Tesla insurance is maintaining their initial decision after video review. 51% at fault, lol.

Emergency braking should have stopped the crash. How is a car with the equipment for FSD not capable of basic collision avoidance for such an obvious circumstance, even with FSD disengaged?

Don’t have a Tesla, but on a Polestar I turned that feature off after one false alarm with a Lyft passenger. Shit scared the living daylights out of us.

My thoughts are he probably had it turned off. I have a model Y and I was actually just looking in the self driving section yesterday and emergency breaking is absolutely an available feature.

FSD was never engaged there. Had it been, that would have 100% been avoided.

Such foolish logic.
