A Miami jury found Tesla partially responsible for a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash, awarding plaintiffs $329 million in damages. The jury attributed one-third of the blame to Tesla and two-thirds to the driver, who was also sued separately. The verdict follows a three-week trial stemming from the death of a pedestrian and injury to her boyfriend. Tesla plans to appeal, arguing the verdict is wrong and hinders automotive safety advancements. The case highlights concerns about driver overreliance on Autopilot and Tesla's past marketing claims.
