Tesla asks court to throw out fatal crash verdict

Tesla has requested a federal court to dismiss a $243m verdict in a fatal crash case where the company was found partly liable. The crash involved a Tesla Model S using the Autopilot software, resulting in a pedestrian's death and another person's severe injuries. Tesla argues that the damages awarded are against common sense, while the victims' lawyer emphasizes the critical role Autopilot and Tesla's misrepresentations played in the accident. The case highlights the dispute over responsibility for crashes involving autonomous driving technology.
