California Considers Halting Tesla Sales Over Autopilot Claims
TL;DR Summary
California's DMV is considering a 30-day ban on Tesla sales over claims that the use of 'Autopilot' constitutes false advertising, as Tesla's driver assistance features do not offer full autonomous driving. The state is negotiating with Tesla, which has changed the name of its 'Full Self-Driving' feature to 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised)' amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny. The case highlights ongoing safety and marketing concerns surrounding Tesla's autonomous driving claims, despite federal investigations into accidents involving Tesla's Autopilot system.
