Tesla, under federal investigation and facing a California DMV complaint over its driver-assistance technology, is accused in a new lawsuit of deceiving buyers and the public with claims about its “Autopilot” and “self-driving” systems, and of killing people with Autopilot.
The lawsuit, seeking class-action status to bring in hundreds of thousands of Tesla owners, targets claims by the electric car maker and its CEO, Elon Musk, that its US$15,000 (RM68,025) “Full Self-Driving” package means buyers will soon get a fully-autonomous car, and that Tesla also markets its Autopilot technology, which comes as a free standard version or a US$6,000 (RM27,210) “enhanced” version, as a step toward fast-approaching full autonomy.
