(Bloomberg) — A jury found Tesla Inc. just 1% responsible for the death of a teenager who crashed a Model S into a wall at high speed, concluding that the 18-year-old and his father were 99% to blame for the 2018 accident.
The verdict Tuesday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, follows the first trial the electric car-maker faced over a fatal accident involving one its electric cars.
The family of Barrett Riley sought to prove the company played a role in his death when service technicians removed a speed-limiting feature from the Model S that they had previously installed at the request of his mother.
