Case Details
A federal jury in Florida has ordered Tesla to pay $243 million in damages over a 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system. The crash killed Naibel Benavides Leon and left Dillon Angulo with permanent injuries. This marks the first time the company has been held liable in a wrongful death trial related to its driver-assist technology.
Additional Notes
Tesla designed Autopilot only for controlled access highways yet deliberately chose not to restrict drivers from using it elsewhere.
