A jury in Florida has found Tesla just 1 per cent negligent in a fiery crash that killed two teens, for disabling a speed limiter on the electric car.

Tuesday's verdict placed 90 per cent of the blame on the driver, Barrett Riley, and 9 per cent on his father, James Riley, who brought the lawsuit against Tesla.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined he was driving at 116 mph in a 30 mph zone, and the most likely cause of the crash “was the driver's loss of control as a result of excessive speed.” An investigation found that about a month before the crash, the teen asked workers at Tesla's Dania Beach dealership to return the car to normal operating mode while it was being serviced.
