flag A federal judge upheld a $243 million verdict against Tesla in a 2019 Florida crash where Autopilot contributed to a fatal collision.

flag A federal judge in Miami has upheld a $243 million jury verdict against Tesla in a 2019 fatal crash in Key Largo, Florida, where a Tesla Model S using Autopilot struck a parked vehicle, killing 22-year-old Naibel Benavides and injuring her boyfriend Dillon Angulo. flag The judge ruled the trial evidence supported the jury’s finding that Tesla was 33% liable, citing inadequate warnings about the system’s limitations. flag Tesla had sought to overturn the verdict, arguing the driver was solely at fault and punitive damages were unjustified, but the court rejected those claims. flag The decision marks the first federal jury verdict in a fatal Autopilot-related crash and could influence future litigation and regulation of autonomous vehicle technology.
