The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) could stop sales of Tesla vehicles if it does not correct advertising claims about its self-driving and autopilot features, which the state considers to be in violation of state law and misleading.
In a statement, the possibility was reported after the DMV It it was alleged that Tesla made and disseminated misleading statements by advertising its vehicles as equipped, or potentially equipped, with features equivalent to self-driving capability. Administrative Judge Juliet Cox recommended prohibiting Tesla from manufacturing and selling vehicles for 30 days.
