A federal court in Miami began considering Monday whether Elon Musk's car company should share blame for the death of a stargazing university student after a runaway Tesla sent her flying 75 feet through the air and severely injured her boyfriend.

The case is the first suit related to fatal crashes involving the electric vehicle company’s Autopilot system to go to trial.

Lawyers for the plaintiff argue the autopilot should have warned the driver and braked when his Model S blew through flashing red lights, a stop sign, and a T-intersection at nearly 70 miles an hour
