A rare trial against Elon Musk's car company began Monday in Miami where a jury will decide if it is partly to 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.

Tesla faces three more trials over fatal Autopilot crashes in the next nine months in California. It’s also scheduled to go to trial in Houston over a case brought on behalf of five police officers badly injured on the side of a freeway when a Tesla on Autopilot plowed into a parked squad car at 70 miles (113 kilometers) per hour.
