CA DMV claims Tesla misled drivers on Autopilot capabilities, seeks to suspend business for 30 days
Briefly

The California DMV has initiated a lawsuit against Tesla, alleging deceptive practices related to the self-driving features of its vehicles. The suit aims to suspend Tesla's sales and manufacturing in California for 30 days due to concerns raised by multiple accidents linked to the 'fully self-driving' function. Activists argue that misleading claims have contributed to fatalities and safety issues, highlighting incidents like the eight-car pileup on the Bay Bridge. These developments coincide with a broader investigation by state and federal authorities into Tesla's self-driving technology reliability.
"These lies have killed 58 people. They're going to kill a lot more," said Shua Sanchez, an activist. "Those cars are crashing. People are getting hurt and are dying."
"These systems are not ready for being simply a driver assist system-- which is what they keep claiming," said Michelle Merrill, an organizer with Scientists Rebellion.
