A federal jury in Miami found Tesla 33% responsible for a 2019 Key Largo crash in which a Model S on Enhanced Autopilot killed Naibel Benavides Leon, leaving Tesla owing about $242.5 million including $200 million in punitive damages.

California's DMV adopted a judge's finding that Tesla broke state law by marketing its driver-assist features as 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self-Driving Capability', staying the factory-licence suspension and giving Tesla 60 days to fix its marketing or lose its dealer licence for 30 days.

The California DMV said Tesla had stopped using the term 'Autopilot' in its marketing, meeting the terms of the December ruling and avoiding a 30-day suspension of its licences to sell and build cars in the state.

U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom in Miami refused to overturn or cut the jury's verdict over the fatal 2019 Key Largo Autopilot crash, finding that the evidence at trial 'more than supports' it, which cleared the way for Tesla's appeal.

Tesla filed its opening brief in the Eleventh Circuit, with former Solicitor General Paul Clement arguing that Florida law bars the $200 million punitive award over the fatal 2019 Key Largo crash; the victims have hired another former Solicitor General, Elizabeth Prelogar.

A Los Angeles judge is set to hear Tesla's petition to overturn the California DMV's finding that its 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self-Driving' marketing was false advertising, a label Tesla wants removed even though it already complied with the order.
