Tesla settles 2019 California crash lawsuit ahead of jury trial
Sep 16, 2025 2:32 PM

Sept 16 (Reuters) - Tesla reached a

confidential deal to resolve a lawsuit over a teenager's death

in a 2019 California crash involving a Model 3 vehicle on the

company's Autopilot advanced driver assistance software, a court

order showed on Tuesday.

The settlement comes weeks after a Florida jury ordered

Tesla to pay $243 million in compensatory and punitive damages

to the victims of another fatal 2019 crash of a Model S that was

equipped with Autopilot. Tesla has said the verdict was "wrong"

and that it would file an appeal.

The electric-vehicle maker, which has settled several other

cases involving its vehicles and self-driving technology, had

rejected a $60 million settlement proposal for the Florida

lawsuit, a filing showed last month.

The latest settlement notice on Tuesday did not provide the

terms of the accord, but said that the dismissal of the lawsuit

was conditioned on "satisfactory completion of specified terms."

The case relates to the death of a 15-year-old boy who was

traveling in Alameda County, California with his father in a

vehicle when it was rear-ended by a Tesla Model 3, which had

Autopilot engaged.

The trial was scheduled to start in about a month in Alameda

County Superior Court. A judge in the Alameda Superior Court on

Tuesday vacated the scheduled trial, according to the court

order.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for

comment.
