Tesla Inc. must face allegations from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that the company overstated the capabilities of its 'Autopilot' and 'Full Self-Driving' (FSD) features. A California administrative judge has ruled against Tesla's bid to dismiss the claims, allowing the case to move forward to court. The allegations suggest that Tesla's marketing of these features may have misled consumers about the true capabilities of its self-driving technology. The automaker is led by billionaire Elon Musk.
