The state 'wrongfully and baselessly labels Tesla a false advertiser for marketing its industry-leading advanced driver-assistance systems ('ADAS') under the brand names "Autopilot" and "Full-Self Driving Capability." Tesla said that Autopilot and Full-Self Driving Capability were never advertised as fully autonomous and that it has repeatedly warned against the misuse of its systems to consumers.
Tesla China did not clarify exactly what it meant by "Autopilot" in its Weibo post, though the company's intense focus on FSD over the past years suggests that the term includes miles that were driven by FSD (Beta) and Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Either way, 10 billion cumulative miles of real-world data is something that few, if any, competitors could compete with.
A Tesla Model S, while on "Autopilot", crashed into a parked truck, killing one and injuring another. Tesla claimed in a lawsuit that the data about the crash could not be found. So lawyers for the plaintiffs tried a different route. For the Washington Post, Trisha Thadani and Faiz Siddiqui report: That's when they turned to hacker greentheonly, who had a robust social media following for his work recovering data from damaged Teslas and posting his findings on X.
