A California jury has found Tesla liable in a wrongful death case involving its Autopilot system, awarding the plaintiffs $329 million. The jury determined Tesla's Autopilot feature was a substantial factor in the 2019 crash that killed the plaintiff's son. The verdict includes $200 million in punitive damages, signaling the jury's strong disapproval of Tesla's conduct. This case sets a significant precedent for future litigation involving autonomous driving technology and raises questions about the safety and responsibility of manufacturers regarding self-driving systems.
