That was the penalty for the felony charge for the driver of the car that ran off the highway into a surface street. It's almost certain that drivers insurance also paid out their maximum.

In addition, Tesla is recalling all those cars to change the system that pretends to ensure a driver using autopilot is actually paying attention.

And a civil suit will likely follow from the 2 victims families.
