Tesla Rejects $60 Million Settlement, Loses $243 Million Verdict After Hacker Recovers Crash Data in 2019 Autopilot Lawsuit

Tesla rejected a $60 million settlement offer in a lawsuit related to a fatal 2019 crash involving a Model S equipped with its Autopilot system. The decision preceded a jury verdict that held Tesla partially liable and imposed a $243 million judgment against the company. During the trial, Tesla initially denied possessing crash-snapshot data from the vehicle, but a hacker hired by the plaintiffs recovered this crucial information. It was later revealed that Tesla had the data stored on its own servers all along. Following the verdict, Tesla has filed a motion requesting the court to overturn the $243 million wrongful death judgment.
