Tesla is partially liable for Florida Autopilot Trial, with ju apprentices paying $200 million in punitive damages

A ju judge in a federal court in Miami was partially revealed due to a fatal crash in 2019, including Tesla’s use of its autopilot driver assistance system. The ju judge awarded the plaintiff $200 million in punitive damages and “compensatory damages for pain and suffering.” According to NBC News.

Neither the car driver nor the autopilot system applied the brakes in time to avoid passing through the intersection. There, a car hit an SUV to kill a pedestrian. The ju apprentices assigned two-thirds of responsibility to the driver, with a third attributing to Tesla. (The drivers were sued separately.)

The verdict comes at the end of a three-week trial over the crash that killed 20-year-old Niberbena Videth Leon and seriously injured her boyfriend Dillon Anglo. This was one of the first major legal decisions on driver assistance technology that opposed Tesla.
