Tesla will avoid a 30-day suspension of its sales and manufacturing licenses in California after it agreed to stop using the term “Autopilot” in its vehicle marketing within the state. This decision by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) concludes a nearly three-year-long case regarding deceptive marketing practices. Tesla has also previously modified its use of “Full Self-Driving” to “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” and recently discontinued Autopilot entirely in the U.S. and Canada to encourage adoption of its FSD subscription.
