Tesla (TSLA) said the company didn’t have the electronic data key for a wrongful death case a survivor and the victim’s family were building after a driver using Autopilot crashed into a Florida couple in 2019, but a hacker enlisted by the plaintiffs to decode the contents of a chip they recovered from the vehicle found it, after which the company said in court that it had the data on its own servers all along, reported The Washington Post’s Trisha Thadani and Faiz Siddiqui. The evidence was presented last month to a jury, which found the company partially liable for the 2019 crash and assessed a $243M verdict against the company, the report noted.
