NEW
YORK (AP) — California regulators said on Tuesday that Tesla had
stopped misleading drivers about the safety of its cars and so
has decided not to suspend its license to sell in the state for
30 days.
The decision by the California Department of Motor Vehicles
comes after Elon Musk's electric vehicle maker was found by an
administrative law judge last year to have misled drivers about
the ability of Tesla cars to drive themselves in its use of the
terms “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving.”
The judge had recommended that regulators suspend Tesla's
license to sell cars for 30 days, but the regulators gave the
company a 90-day window to make changes. They decided it had
done that sufficiently to fix the deceptive marketing.
Tesla now uses the term “supervised” in references to its Full
Self Driving and has stopped using Autopiolot in its marketing
in the state.
