Tesla found partially liable for a deadly 2019 crash

Tesla was found partially liable for a car crash in 2019 involving one of the company's cars.

A jury in Florida has found Tesla partially liable for a 2019 crash involving the company's Autopilot self-driving feature, The Washington Post reports. The plaintiffs, Angulo and Benevides Leon's family, argued that the way Tesla and Elon Musk talked about the feature ultimately created the illusion that Autopilot was safer than it really was. The NHTSA also found that Autopilot was overly permissive and "did not adequately ensure that drivers maintained their attention on the driving task," which lines up with the 2019 Florida crash.
