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

Although Tesla currently publishes warnings concerning its driver-assist technology, the DMV claims that this is insufficient to correct the alleged deceptive remarks. The DMV’s decision might result in Tesla’s permits to manufacture and sell vehicles in California being suspended, but the government may not go that far. A representative for the agency told the Los Angeles Times that the government would compel Tesla to adequately educate consumers about its Autopilot and FSD functions, as well as offer adequate cautions about the technology’s limits. Tesla has 15 days to reply to the DMV’s allegation, after which the agency will act without a hearing.
