California\u2019s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has accused Tesla of falsely advertising its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) features, as reported earlier by the Los Angeles Times<\/em><\/a> (via CNBC<\/a>). The agency filed two separate complaints with the state\u2019s Office of Administrative Hearings on July 28th, alleging Tesla made \u201cuntrue or misleading\u201d claims about its vehicles\u2019 autonomous driving capabilities.<\/p>\n

In the filings, the DMV claims the names of Tesla\u2019s Autopilot and FSD features, as well as the language the company uses to describe them, wrongly imply that cars equipped with the technology can operate autonomously. The DMV specifically points to the information on Tesla\u2019s Autopilot page<\/a>, which states its FSD system \u201cis designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver\u2019s seat\u201d and is capable of \u201cnavigating urban streets, complex intersections and freeways.\u201d<\/p>\n
