테슬라, 오토파일럿 243M弗 패소

미국 법원이 테슬라(TSLA)의 오토파일럿 관련 2억4,300만달러 배상평결 뒤집기 요청을 기각했습니다. 재판부는 테슬라가 제시한 논리가 재판 및 약식판결 단계에서 이미 검토·기각된 주장과 사실상 동일하며, 판단을 바꿀 새로운 법리도 없다고 밝혔습니다. 이번 사건은 2019년 플로리다 사망사고로, 배심원단은 운전자 과실을 3분의 2, 테슬라 책임을 3분의 1로 판단했습니다. 징벌적 손해배상은 테슬라에만 부과됐습니다.

Tesla loses bid to overturn $243M Autopilot verdict

A judge has denied Tesla’s request to overturn a $243 million jury verdict that held the automaker partially responsible for a fatal crash involving its Autopilot driver assistance system.

“The grounds for relief that Tesla relies upon are virtually the same as those Tesla put forth previously during the course of trial and in their briefings on summary judgment — arguments that were already considered and rejected,” Hon. Judge Beth Bloom’s decision reads. “Furthermore, Tesla does not present additional arguments or controlling law that persuades this Court to alter its earlier decisions or the jury verdict.”

Last August, a jury awarded a $243 million verdict against Tesla over its culpability in a 2019 fatal crash in Florida that killed Naibel Benavides and critically injured Dillon Angulo. The jury assigned the driver two-thirds of the blame, and attributed one-third to Tesla. Notably, the jury assessed punitive damages only against Tesla.

Tesla’s lawyers argued, in its request to reverse the ruling, that the blame rested on the driver, who helped cause the crash.
