The comments on this post are very misinformed. The car did not issue a "Take over immediately" alert despite having the capability or claiming to do so[1]. Hence the partial blame. The punitive damages are justified since, Tesla during the whole process has been found to repeatedly lie about the existence of the server logs. @greentheonly on X, found that the server logs was indeed uploaded to their servers[2] and after this they had to hand over the logs. The logs were crucial in determining that Autopilot/Autosteer was on and that no warnings were issued. Tesla knew that they had the server logs all along. For a corporation to engage in this behavior is almost criminal.
