    One of the state laws that Tesla complains about is Cal. Veh. Code § 24011.5, which says that companies “shall not name any partial driving automation feature, or describe any partial driving automation feature in marketing materials, using language that implies or would otherwise lead a reasonable person to believe, that the feature allows the vehicle to function as an autonomous vehicle.”

    So Tesla accepts they mislead the customers but that’s their constitutional right?

    I would love for somebody to honestly defend/show a different interpretation. It sounds so bad I can’t on my own understand how people still defend this.
