Tesla has asked a Florida federal court to overturn a jury verdict that found the company partly liable for a 2019 crash that killed one pedestrian and severely injured another. The carmaker was ordered to pay $243 million in damages after the jury concluded its Autopilot driver assistance software contributed to the incident.

• The jury awarded the victims a total of $329 million, including $129 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages.
• Lawyers for the victims argued Tesla’s Autopilot software failed to alert the driver, George McGee, or activate the brakes.
• Tesla contends the $243 million award defies “common sense” and that the driver was responsible for the crash.
