The complaint further claims that Full Self-Driving and Autopilot are not just misleading, but also hazardous. It cites examples such as the 2018 disaster in California in which a Model X on Autopilot slammed into a concrete barrier, killing the driver, and another in which a Tesla on Autopilot smashed into the rear of a stopped fire truck, sparking a federal inquiry.
According to Matsko’s lawsuit, he is seeking “injunctive relief prohibiting Tesla from continuing the deceptive and misleading marketing of its ADAS technology, restitution for money Plaintiff and Class members paid for technology that Tesla promised but never delivered, and all available damages, including punitive damages, to punish Tesla for years of using deceptive and misleading marketing to eventually establish itself as a dominant player in the electric vehicle market.”
