The California Department of Motor Vehicles accuses Tesla of making misleading representations concerning Autopilot and Full-Self Driving

The DMV contends in the documents that the titles of Tesla’s Autopilot and FSD capabilities, as well as the wording used to explain them, incorrectly indicate that vehicles equipped with the technology may drive automatically. The DMV explicitly cites Tesla’s Autopilot website, which claims that its FSD system “is intended to be able to perform short and long-distance excursions with no action necessary by the person in the driver’s seat” and is capable of “navigating urban streets, complicated junctions, and highways.”
