Tesla faces California's false advertising charges related to autonomous driving

Tesla is facing allegations of false advertising regarding autonomous driving in California, with the accusation claiming that Tesla exaggerated the autonomous driving capabilities of its vehicles. A California administrative judge rejected Tesla's attempt to dismiss the allegations, and the case will proceed to formal trial. The California Department of Motor Vehicles investigation found discrepancies between Tesla's public claims and the materials submitted to the DMV. Tesla may face the suspension of its license to sell vehicles in California and may be required to compensate vehicle owners. This is a significant event for Tesla as California is one of its largest markets. Additionally, the U.S. government is also investigating whether Tesla's autonomous driving technology could lead to fatal accidents, and federal prosecutors are looking into whether Tesla misled investors regarding its autonomous driving capabilities
