Investing.com – A federal judge has dismissed Tesla’s attempt to overturn a $243 million verdict related to a fatal crash involving a Model S equipped with Autopilot in 2019.

U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami announced the decision on Friday. The judge stated that the evidence presented at trial “amply supported” the jury’s verdict. Judge Bloom noted that Tesla failed to present any new arguments to justify overturning the verdict.

The case stemmed from a 2019 crash involving a Tesla Model S equipped with the company’s Autopilot system. The jury awarded $243 million to the victim of the fatal accident.

Tesla had attempted to overturn the verdict, but the court found no grounds to do so based on the arguments presented by the company.
