California Considers Banning Tesla Autopilot Sales Over False Advertising

California's DMV is considering a 30-day ban on Tesla sales over claims that the company's 'Autopilot' feature is falsely advertised, as Tesla's driver assistance system does not meet autonomous standards.

The case highlights ongoing safety and regulatory concerns surrounding Tesla's self-driving claims, despite federal investigations and legal rulings.

Madonna Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Late Concert Start Time

Madonna Fights Back Against Lawsuit Over Delayed Concert Starts

Madonna is seeking to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed by fans in New York City who were upset that her concerts started later than scheduled, arguing that the inconvenience of needing to wake up early for work the next day is not a valid legal "injury" to sue over. The lawsuit claims that Madonna and Live Nation breached contracts with buyers and violated state laws covering false advertising and unfair business practices by starting the shows late, but Madonna's lawyers argue that concertgoers are aware that shows may not start at the exact time printed on the ticket and that the plaintiffs received the full-length, high-quality show they paid for.
