Elon Musk's Tesla Sues California DMV Following False Advertising Row Around FSD, Autopilot
Tesla has sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles after the agency labeled the automaker a false advertiser for its Autopilot and Full‑Self Driving branding. Tesla argues the DMV offered no consumer‑witness evidence and relied on a single academic testimony, while insisting its driver‑assistance features are not autonomous. The DMV had earlier sought a 30‑day suspension of Tesla’s California sales but instead granted a 90‑day remediation period. Meanwhile, Tesla’s vision‑only FSD system logged more than 8.2 billion miles, even as five robotaxi crashes were reported in Austin this January.
