Tesla absolved in first Autopilot crash trial as jury rejects $3 million claim

Tesla wins lawsuit claiming Autopilot caused car crash.
A California state court jury found that Tesla's Autopilot feature did not fail to perform safely in the first trial related to a crash involving the partially automated driving software.
Plaintiff sought over $3 million in damages.
The trial is considered a test case because it would serve as a bellwether to help Tesla and other plaintiffs’ lawyers hone their strategies.
Tesla expected to face more trials and ongoing investigation by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
