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.

Tesla Reports Fatal Crashes, Then Censors Almost Everything
Guida autonoma, Tesla segnala gli incidenti mortali e poi censura quasi tutto - ClubAlfa.it
Tesla reports thousands of incidents involving its driver-assist systems to NHTSA but censors nearly all details, citing trade secrets. An investigation by Electrek matched uncensored data with police reports to identify fatal crashes where Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was active, including cases of speeding, sudden stops, and left-turn collisions. Despite marketing the software as fully autonomous, Tesla attributes blame to drivers while the systems remain Level 2, requiring constant human supervision.
