Tesla is actively challenging a $243 million judgment awarded in the Benevides v. Tesla case, stemming from a fatal accident involving the company’s “Autopilot” FSD system. The electric vehicle manufacturer has filed a request with the presiding judge to significantly reduce the compensatory and punitive damages. Specifically, Tesla proposes lowering both to $23 million each, resulting in a total payout of $46 million. However, the company is also pursuing a complete reversal of the original verdict. Details of the legal proceedings have surfaced on Reddit, sparking discussion about the case and its implications for autonomous driving technology.
