Tesla has been ordered to pay $243m in a landmark lawsuit concerning a fatal crash involving its Autopilot system in Florida, US, in 2019. A federal jury in Miami attributed 33% of the responsibility for the collision to Tesla after a Model S failed to stop at a sign and collided with a Chevrolet Tahoe.

The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver.
