A judge ruled that Tesla's use of "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" is misleading, suggesting the cars can drive themselves. The California DMV has mandated a name change to avoid a sales ban in the state. Tesla has already renamed "Full Self-Driving Capability" to "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" but still needs to address the Autopilot branding.

Tesla plans to expand its robotaxi service in California, but regulators have clarified that it must operate with human drivers due to restrictions on autonomous vehicle transport. The company will offer rides to friends and family of employees and select members of the public, but only using non-autonomous vehicles, while facing scrutiny over its driver assistance marketing practices.
