A Miami jury determined Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash involving its Autopilot technology, awarding over $240 million in damages to the victims. The jury found significant faults with Tesla's technology, stating that not all blame could rest on the distracted driver. The case marks a notable end to a four-year legal battle, as similar cases have often been dismissed or settled prior to trial. The decision is expected to encourage other legal actions against Tesla, particularly concerning the safety of its Autopilot system.
