Tesla has filed a lawsuit against the California DMV to overturn a ruling that claimed the company used deceptive marketing regarding its vehicles' automated driving capabilities. This lawsuit follows the DMV's decision not to suspend Tesla's sales and manufacturing licenses after the company complied with the ruling by ceasing the use of the term "Autopilot" in its marketing. The DMV had initially sought a 30-day suspension, but instead allowed Tesla 60 days to comply, leading to the discontinuation of Autopilot in the U.S. and Canada.
