Elon Musk has pledged to challenge a court ruling that orders Tesla to pay $243 million in damages to victims of a fatal Autopilot crash. The decision comes after a jury found Tesla's driver-assistance system partially responsible for the accident.

Editor’s Note: This case highlights growing scrutiny over Tesla's Autopilot technology and its role in accidents. A payout this large could set a precedent for future lawsuits, potentially forcing Tesla—and other automakers—to rethink how they market and develop self-driving features. For consumers, it’s a reminder that these systems aren’t foolproof, despite the hype.
