No Do It World Wide

As a result of investigations into Elon Musk's lies regarding the autonomy of Tesla electric vehicles, has been forced to drop its Autopilot branding and add a disclaimer to its Full Self Driving branding.

I think that this is weak tea, but it should go nation wide, if not world wide. 

Tesla has complied with an order by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and stopped using the term "Autopilot" in its marketing of electric vehicles, having already modified use of "Full Self-Driving" to clarify that it requires driver supervision. 

………

This comes after Tesla was given 60 days from December 16, 2025 to fall in line with the agency's request. 

The requirement followed a lengthy case over Tesla's use of the words "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" in relation to its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), along with the sentence: "The 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." 

………

The Administrative Law Judge proposed suspending Tesla's manufacturing and dealer licenses for 30 days. However, a later review gave Elon Musk's EV outfit 60 days to stop using the terms.

They should have thrown the book at him. 

This has been fraud, and it has been fraud for well over a decade.
