特斯拉被判支付2.43亿美元赔偿金，涉及致命自动驾驶事故
摘要
迈阿密联邦陪审团认定特斯拉对2019年一起涉及其自动驾驶系统的致命车祸负有部分责任，判给受害者家属2.43亿美元赔偿金。
迈阿密联邦陪审团裁定特斯拉需支付2.43亿美元赔偿金，原因是一辆搭载自动驾驶系统的Model S在2019年发生致命车祸。事故导致22岁的Naibel Benavides Leon死亡，她的男友Dillon Angulo受重伤。陪审团判给1.29亿美元的补偿性赔偿金和2亿美元的惩罚性赔偿金，特斯拉需承担补偿性赔偿金的33%，即4260万美元。驾驶员George McGee并非本案被告，需承担剩余67%的责任。事故发生在佛罗里达州基拉戈，当时McGee因分心使用手机未能在路口停车，撞上停放的SUV，导致Benavides Leon和Angulo受伤。原告方主张特斯拉的自动驾驶系统未能在危险临近时自动解除或提醒McGee，尤其是在该系统未设计用于的道路上。特斯拉计划对判决提出上诉，称事故系因驾驶员分心所致，而非其自动驾驶技术问题。公司强调，使用自动驾驶时，驾驶员需保持注意力并随时准备接管车辆。此案为首例涉及第三方死亡且归因于特斯拉自动驾驶系统的审判，可能为未来涉及自动驾驶技术的诉讼树立先例。
