Elon Musk's Tesla Inc. faced a costly legal setback after refusing a $60 million settlement offer in a fatal Autopilot crash case, ultimately losing a $243 million jury verdict. The 2019 incident involved a Model S colliding with a parked vehicle, killing one person and seriously injuring another.

Florida jurors assigned 33% liability to Tesla, resulting in $42.6 million compensatory damages plus the full $200 million punitive award. The electric vehicle Maker continues to deny wrongdoing despite the staggering judgment, maintaining its defense of the controversial driver-assistance technology.
