Judge says Tesla misled drivers about what Autopilot actually does.
00:05
A California judge just ruled that Tesla misled customers about Autopilot and full self-driving
00:10
and the fallout could hit the company where it hurts most.
00:13
California, its largest U.S. market.
00:16
The decision says Tesla's branding and marketing gave drivers an inflated sense of how capable
00:22
its driver assistance features really are, essentially blurring the line between assistive
00:27
tech and true self-driving, reports TechCrunch.
00:31
At the center of this is the long-running tension between what Autopilot slash FSD actually
00:35
do and what their names imply.
00:38
These systems can handle lane keeping, adaptive cruise, and some complex scenarios but they
00:43
still require a fully attentive human behind the wheel.
00:46
The judge agreed with the California DMV that calling this Autopilot and full self-driving
00:52
crosses into deceptive marketing, even if Tesla tucked disclaimers into the fine print,
00:57
reports CNBC.
00:59
As a penalty, the DMV sought a 30-day suspension of Tesla's sales and manufacturing licenses
01:03
in California, and the judge signed off on that.
01:07
However, the DMV stayed that suspension to give Tesla time to comply, either by changing
01:11
how it markets the tech or, in theory, by actually delivering real autonomy.
01:16
Tesla, unsurprisingly, is signaling it has no plans to back down, saying California sales
01:22
will continue uninterrupted and pointing out that there haven't been customer complaints
01:26
in this specific DMV case.
01:29
In a statement to CNBC, the company claims this was a consumer protection order about the
01:34
use of the term Autopilot in a case where not one single customer came forward to say there's
01:40
a problem.
01:41
Sales in California will continue uninterrupted.
01:44
This fight comes as Tesla is already under the microscope from regulators and facing lawsuits
01:49
over crashes tied to Autopilot.
01:52
It's also testing a robo-taxi service in Austin that uses a different software stack than what
01:56
customers get, raising even more questions about how the company communicates capabilities
02:01
to the public.
02:02
If California ultimately forces Tesla to tone down its autonomy hype, it could set a new bar
02:07
for how every carmaker talks about self-driving features going forward.
02:14
So am I.
02:14
From the frequency of time, get back to more of which.
02:17
The customer has a new bar for today to make some decisions for the customer launch.
02:19
So we're in a relationship with a new bar, so we're in a relationship with the
02:23
customeraku.
02:23
Let's just take a closer look at this with the customer launch, and the customer launch
02:25
is constantly changing.
02:26
Let's go to his home.
02:27
We're in a relationship with a new bar.
02:28
We're in a relationship with a new bar in the country.
02:28
Here's the company.
02:29
I'm here at this one bar in the future.
02:31
I'm here at this hotel.
02:32
I'm here.
02:33
I'm in a relationship with a new bar in the master.
