"...knowingly labeling a software as "autopilot" or "full self-driving" when it's actually a level 2 driver assistance program may have crossed the line of false advertising...the [2020 Munich court] verdict reversed in a higher German court...on the condition that Tesla change some of the language on its website to clarify Autopilot's capabilities.
"California DMV’s recent complaint argues the "Autopilot"...labels could mislead consumers."
