Appeal of what and on what grounds? Are you an attorney or are you just making this up?

  I am making this up Based on (almost?) all prior cases though.

Note that the driver wasn't found to be fault-free (they got something like two thirds of the blame), so it's unclear why appeals would overturn this.

  For what it's worth: Hsu v. Tesla, Inc. (Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. 20STCV18473). Autopilot allegedly swerved a Model S into a median on city streets; plaintiff also claimed an unsafe airbag deployment and misrepresentation. Final result: Tesla won (defense verdict). Jury awarded zero damages and found no failure to warn; verdict entered April 21, 2023. Molander v. Tesla, Inc. (Riverside County Superior Court). Fatal 2019 crash (driver Micah Lee) where plaintiffs said Autopilot suddenly veered off the highway into a palm tree; suit alleged defective Autopilot and failure to warn. Final result: Tesla won (defense verdict). Jury sided with Tesla on October 31, 2023; no plaintiff recovery. Huang v. Tesla, Inc. (Santa Clara County Superior Court). 2018 Mountain View fatal crash (Walter Huang) while Autopilot was engaged; wrongful death, defect, and failure-to-warn theories. Final result: Settled confidentially in April 2024 before trial. Estate of Jeremy Banner v. Tesla, Inc. (Palm Beach County; related 4th DCA appeal). 2019 Delray Beach fatal crash where a Model 3 on Autopilot underrode a crossing tractor-trailer; plaintiffs alleged Autopilot was defective and oversold. Appellate development: In Feb. 2025, Florida’s Fourth DCA limited the case by blocking punitive damages that a trial court had allowed. Final result: Settled in July 2025 (confidential) before a compensatory-only trial could proceed
