A California regulator accuses Tesla of misleading consumers about its driver assistance systems filing complaints that could potentially prevent the automaker from selling its cars in the state
A ruling in favor of the California regulator could result in the possible revocation of the licenses authorising Tesla to manufacture or sell its cars in the state of California.
In its filing, the Department of Motor Vehicles said Tesla advertised its Autopilot and Self-Driving technologies as more capable than they actually are, according to a Friday report from the Los Angeles Times. Tesla cars could never "and cannot now, operate as autonomous vehicles," the DMV said, according to the California newspaper.Tesla's website describes its Autopilot as having "full self-driving capability."
But a DMV spokesperson told the newspaper that actual remedies the agency would seek included having Tesla better educate drivers about its autonomous vehicles and feature a warning on the limitations of its technology.
