Tesla Elon Musk challenged a large payment of $ 243 million in the case of autopilot death

Tesla has appealed the assessment sentence of $ 243 million given to the family of a man who died in an accident that is said to be due to the company’s autopilot driver assistance system.

Remember that in early August, Tesla was found some mistakes by the federal jury in Miami for the deadly 2019 collision that used autopilot driver assistance technology.

The corporation owned by the technology billionaire Elon Musk was ordered by a verdict to pay $ 243 million to the survivors and relatives of the victims.

The jury found that although most drivers had to be blamed, Tesla technology was also very responsible for the deadly events that occurred six years ago.

Brett Schreiber, the main lawyer for the plaintiff in this case, said in a statement that Tesla designed an autopilot “only for the controlled access road but deliberately chose not to limit the driver from using it elsewhere, with Elon Musk who said that the autopilot of the world drove better than humans.”

“Tesla’s lies turn our way into a test track for their fundamental disabled technology, placing Americans everyday like Naibel Benavides and Dillon Angulo on the way of danger,” Schreiber said. “Today’s verdict represents justice for the tragic death of Naibel and Dillon’s lifetime injury, asking for Tesla and Musk accountability for sustaining trillions of corporate dollars with hype self-driving at the expense of human life.”

According to the submission of a new court, Tesla has now asked the judge to give a new trial or revoke a decision of $ 243 million given to the company in a dispute regarding its autopilot technology.

The company’s lawyer argued that the verdict, made by the jury earlier this month, “Flying before the Basic Lawsuit of Florida, the legal process clause, and common sense.”
