Jury selection began Monday in a federal trial against Tesla concerning a 2019 fatal Autopilot crash. The case is the first of its kind to go to trial, focusing on the Autopilot system's role in the accident. Elon Musk's prominent profile presented a challenge during jury selection, with several potential jurors stating bias due to their views on Musk and Tesla's ethics.
