Benavides Leon v. Tesla, Inc.
Tesla Autopilot (Model S) · United States (Florida)
Arising from a 2019 Key Largo crash in which a Tesla on Autopilot ran a T-intersection and struck a parked car, killing pedestrian Naibel Benavides Leon and injuring Dillon Angulo, a Miami jury found Tesla partly liable and awarded about $243 million (including $200 million in punitive damages). It was the first U.S. verdict holding Tesla liable in a wrongful-death action tied to Autopilot; a judge upheld the verdict in February 2026 and Tesla has appealed.

Uber was not criminally charged.
