TL;DR Summary

Jurors in the first trial related to a crash involving Tesla's Autopilot feature found that the electric-vehicle maker clearly warned that the partially automated driving software was not a self-piloted system, and that driver distraction was to blame. The California state court jury handed Tesla a sweeping win, finding that the automaker's Autopilot feature did not fail to perform safely and awarding plaintiff Justine Hsu zero damages. The outcome serves as a bellwether to help Tesla and other plaintiffs' lawyers hone their strategies for other trials related to the semi-automated driving system.
