The family of a young woman killed in the Florida Keys in 2019 when a Tesla ran a stop sign and plowed into a parked SUV she was standing next to on the other side of the road is arguing in a federal lawsuit that flaws with the electric car manufacturer’s Autopilot system were to blame for her death.

Tesla faces a jury in Miami over a fatal crash involving its Autopilot system, with potential implications for the company's future and self-driving technology.

A judgment against Tesla could be especially damaging as the company plans to roll-out hundreds of thousands of robotaxis on US roads.
