(Reuters) -Tesla reached a confidential deal to resolve a lawsuit by the family of a teenager who was killed in a 2019 California crash involving a Model 3 vehicle on autopilot, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

The settlement marks the latest move by the Elon Musk-led firm to avoid a jury trial over a fatal crash. The electric-vehicle maker has settled several other cases involving its vehicles and self-driving technology.

The trial was scheduled to start in about a month in Alameda County Superior Court, the report said.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
