- A judge denied Tesla's request to overturn a $243 million jury verdict related to a fatal crash involving Autopilot.
- The crash in 2019 killed Naibel Benavides and critically injured Dillon Angulo, with Tesla held partially responsible.
- The jury assigned two-thirds blame to the driver and one-third to Tesla, with punitive damages only against Tesla.
- Tesla argued the driver was solely to blame, but the judge found no new grounds to reverse the decision.
