From CNET: Tesla has been accused by California's Department of Motor Vehicles of false advertising in promoting its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features as providing autonomous vehicle control.
The DMV alleges the electric-carmaker misled customers with advertising language that exaggerated the technologies' capabilities.
Tesla "made or disseminated statements that are untrue or misleading, and not based on facts," the DMV said in complaints filed with the state Office of Administrative Hearings on July 28 and made public on Friday.
The DMV pointed to Tesla's website for an example of the misleading language used by the carmaker.
"All you will need to do is get in and tell your car where to go," the company promises. "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."
