California bill targets Tesla's Full Self-Driving name as misleading
The California legislature passed a bill that would require Tesla to stop using the term 'Full Self-Driving' for its driver-assistance system, following a complaint from the California DMV. The bill alleges that the name is misleading because the system still requires constant driver supervision and is not fully autonomous. The bill now awaits Governor Gavin Newsom's signature.
