A Miami jury found Tesla partly responsible for a 2019 fatal Autopilot crash, ordering the company to pay over $240 million in damages. The jury determined Tesla's technology failed and that the driver's distracted driving wasn't solely to blame. Tesla claims it will appeal, citing a pre-trial agreement limiting punitive damages. This verdict is significant, potentially impacting future lawsuits against autonomous vehicle manufacturers and raising questions about Tesla's Autopilot marketing.
