Language Surrounding Tesla's Autopilot And FSD Technology Is False Advertising According To California DMV | Carscoops carscoops
Tesla is in hot water again and this time it’s the brand’s former home state of California that’s on the offensive. More specifically, Tesla has been accused of false advertising by the Californian DMV concerning the automaker’s promotion of its Autopilot andTesla has long been the subject of controversy over the nomenclature it uses for both Autopilot and FSD. Detractors say that the names make it seem as though the vehicle requires no human attention or interaction.
The specific language on the Autopilot page is called out too: “All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go. If you don’t say anything, your car will look at your calendar and take you there as the assumed destination. Your Tesla will figure out the optimal route, navigating urban streets, complex intersections, and freeways.” That is very clearly not how any vehicle, including any Tesla, on the roads today functions.
The complaint could see Tesla’s license to build and sell cars in California revoked, although that’s unlikely. A spokesperson for the DMV told the LA Times that if the action succeeds, it will ask that Tesla be required to “advertise to consumers and better educate Tesla buyers about the capabilities of its ‘Autopilot’ and ‘Full Self-Driving’ features”, including their limitations.
