Tesla Ordered to Pay Over $240 Million After Being Found Partly Liable for Fatal Autopilot Crashes
A jury has recently ordered Tesla to pay over $240 million in multiple cases involving fatal crashes linked to its Autopilot feature. The court found the company partially liable, attributing significant blame to the Autopilot system in these deadly incidents. Most notably, Tesla is facing a $329 million verdict following a trial that blamed its technology for a fatal crash in Florida. Elon Musk has indicated plans to appeal the decision. The outcomes of these cases could potentially lead to an influx of additional lawsuits against the electric vehicle manufacturer, affecting its stock and financial standing.
