Jury orders Tesla to pay more than USD 200 million in Autopilot crash case
Last Updated: Miami, Aug 1 (AP) A Miami jury decided that Elon Musk's car company Tesla was partly responsible for a deadly crash in Florida involving its Autopilot driver assist technology and must pay the victims more than USD 200 million in punitive damages. The federal jury held that Tesla bore significant responsibility because its technology failed and that not all the blame can be put on a reckless driver, even one who admitted he was distracted by his cell phone before hitting a young couple out gazing at the stars. The decision comes as Musk seeks to convince Americans his cars are safe enough to drive on their own as he plans to roll out a driverless taxi service in several cities in the coming months. The decision ends a four-year long case remarkable not just in its outcome but that it even made it to trial. Many similar cases against Tesla have been dismissed and, when that didn't happen, settled by the company to avoid the spotlight of a trial. 'This will open the floodgates," said Miguel Custodio, a car crash lawyer not involved in the Tesla case. 'It will embolden a lot of people to come to court." The case also included startling charges by lawyers for the family of the deceased, 22-year-old, Naibel Benavides Leon, and for her injured boyfriend, Dillon Angulo. They claimed Tesla either hid or lost key evidence, including data and video recorded seconds before the accident. Tesla has previously faced criticism that it is slow to cough up crucial data by relatives of other victims in Tesla crashes, accusations that the car company has denied. In this case, the plaintiffs showed Tesla had the evidence all along, despite its repeated denials, by hiring a forensic data expert who dug it up. Tesla said it made a mistake after being shown the evidence and honestly hadn't thought it was there. It's not clear how much of a hit to Tesla's reputation for safety the verdict in the Miami case will make. Tesla has vastly improved its technology since the crash on a dark, rural road in Key Largo, Florida, in 2019.

Schengen Visa to Go Digital? Here's All You Need To Know For Next Trip To Europe
Last Updated: Under the new EES framework, the biometric data of non-EU nationals be collected and stored for three years. The European Union has announced a significant update to its border control procedures, with the introduction of a new digital Entry/Exit System (EES) set to launch on October 12. The system will gradually replace the traditional practice of passport stamping across the Schengen Area with modern biometric checks, including fingerprinting and facial recognition. Under the new EES framework, the biometric data of the UK, US and non-EU nationals, such as fingerprints, facial images, and key travel details, will be collected and stored to streamline border crossings and enhance security. The system is designed to simplify travel between the 29 countries that currently make up the Schengen Zone, which includes 25 EU nations along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. According to a press release from the European Commission, member states will begin rolling out the system from mid-October, with full implementation expected within next six months. Once in place, travellers entering or exiting the EU's external borders will be required to use self-service kiosks to scan their passports or travel documents. Unlike the current system, where border officials manually stamp passports, EES aims to automate and expedite the process. Registration will be free of charge. The new digital entry system will register each traveller's name, type of travel document, biometric data, and the date and location of entry and exit. This information will be stored in a central database for three years and used to monitor compliance with short-stay limits and detect overstays. The EES will also benefit frequent travellers, including cross-border commuters, by reducing paperwork and wait times at borders. The move forms part of the EU's wider strategy to strengthen security while embracing technological innovation in border management. 'By working closely with Member States and the transport sector, we are creating a secure, efficient, and travel-friendly framework that reflects Europe's commitment to both security and technological innovation," said Henna Virkkunen, Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy. As reported by Euronews, the UK government has allocated nearly £3.5 million (€4.1 million) each to Eurostar, Eurotunnel, and the Port of Dover to assist with setting up the new registration kiosks ahead of the system's rollout. view comments First Published: August 01, 2025, 23:47 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
