Fatal Florida Crash
A Tesla vehicle operating on Autopilot is involved in a fatal collision in Florida.
A federal judge has upheld a $243 million jury verdict against Tesla, rejecting the company's attempt to overturn the judgment following a fatal 2019 Autopilot crash in Florida. The ruling marks a significant legal setback for Tesla as it navigates a growing volume of litigation concerning its driver-assistance technology.
Tesla has reached a settlement with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, agreeing to cease using the 'Autopilot' brand in state marketing to avoid a 30-day license suspension. The move follows regulatory findings that the terminology was misleading regarding the actual capabilities of the driver-assistance systems.
