Tesla Challenges $243M Payout in Autopilot Death Case
Tesla is appealing a $243 million judgment in a lawsuit related to a deadly 2019 crash in Miami involving its Autopilot driver assist system. The jury found Tesla partially at fault, despite placing most blame on the driver.
Brett Schreiber, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, criticized Tesla's Autopilot design and accused the company of prioritizing self-driving hype over safety. The case highlights the legal implications of autonomous driving technologies and the accountability of companies like Tesla.
The company is seeking a new trial or the revocation of the judgment, arguing against the verdict's basis in Florida tort law and due process concerns.
