Overview

• Court filings show confidential settlements resolving separate 2019 cases in Alameda County and Gardena that involved Autopilot.
• Trials set for next month were taken off the calendar, with an Alameda judge vacating the date and Los Angeles petitions withdrawn.
• The Alameda case stemmed from a rear-end crash that killed 15-year-old Jovani Maldonado, and the Gardena case involved a high-speed red-light collision that killed two people.
• The Gardena settlement covers only Tesla, and claims against the Model S driver and other defendants will continue.
• The settlements follow a Miami jury’s $243 million award in a separate 2019 crash case, which Tesla has moved to overturn after hiring new counsel and previously rejecting a $60 million offer.
