The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in California has accused Elon Musk-run Tesla of running fake claims about its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) features. The agency said in its filing that Tesla “wrongly implies” that cars equipped with the technology can operate autonomously, reports The Verge. The DMV pointed toward information on Tesla’s Autopilot page which states that its FSD system “is designed to be able to conduct short and long distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat” and is capable of “navigating urban streets, complex intersections, and freeways.” The agency filed two separate complaints, alleging Tesla made “untrue or misleading” claims about its vehicles’ autonomous driving capabilities.

Cars abandoned by their drivers due to heavy rain the previous night are strewn across a road in Seocho-dong, Gangnam, on Tuesday. [YONHAP] According to the General Insurance Association, 2,300 vehicles have been damaged by the downpour as reported to four non-life … [Read more...] about Cars strewn about and totaled, insurers count flood losses
