A jury has ruled that Tesla was partially responsible for a fatal car crash that occurred in 2019. Lawyers representing the family of the woman who was struck and killed by the vehicle argued that the company’s Autopilot software should have avoided the accident. The jury ultimately ordered Tesla to pay all punitive damages, correcting an earlier version of the article that mistakenly stated the company would receive only 33 percent.
