Tesla Settled Over Autopilot Crash With Truck Crossing Highway

Tesla Inc. settled a high-profile lawsuit over a driver’s death in 2019 when the Autopilot system in his Model 3 allegedly failed to avoid a collision with a tractor-trailer crossing a Florida highway.

The confidential settlement, disclosed in a July 7 court filing, came just before Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker went to trial in Miami this week over another 2019 fatal crash in Florida blamed on its driver-assistance system.
