Tesla must pay $329 million in damages after fatal autopilot crash

A Miami jury found Tesla partially liable for a 2019 fatal Autopilot crash, awarding the victims' families $329 million in damages. The award includes $129 million in compensatory and $200 million in punitive damages. The lawsuit stemmed from a crash where the driver, using Autopilot, was distracted and caused the accident resulting in one death and serious injuries. This verdict could set a precedent for other Autopilot-related lawsuits against Tesla, who did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Tesla's stock dipped following the news.
