Using the terms Autopilot and Full Self Driving is deceptive, the California DMV alleges in a new administrative filing.
Elon Musk had one eye on the mirror as he watched himself gavotte at the Tesla shareholder annual meeting last week, but neither he nor his company had time to respond to complaints by the California DMV that Tesla has misled customers by claiming in marketing materials that vehicles equipped with its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving capability programs were autonomous.
Tesla “made or disseminated statements that are untrue or misleading, and not based on facts, in advertising vehicles as equipped, or potentially equipped, with advanced driver assistance system features,” the California DMV said in its complaints revealed this week, which were filed with the state’s Office of Administrative Hearings, according to theTesla has 15 days to respond by filing a “notice of defense,” after which the matter could be brought to a hearing before an administrative law...
In the complaints, the DMV refers to at least five dates between May and July during which Tesla on its website used sentences such as “The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long-distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.” That sentence and others mentioned in the complaint remain on the Autopilot page on the company’s website.
