At stake: Carmaker's licenses to make and sell motor vehicles in golden state
A California judge has rejected Tesla's bid to dismiss claims that the self-driving capabilities of its vehicles were overstated.
If successful in its complaints, the DMV could"revoke or suspend respondent's licenses to manufacture and sell motor vehicles in California on the ground that respondent unlawfully has used false, misleading phrases and feature names to market such vehicles." But Judge Juliet Cox of the golden state's Office of Administrative Hearings was not convinced and said in Monday's order that she would not terminate the proceeding prematurely before the DMV had a chance"to develop evidence and present it at the hearing."
The lawsuit stated the claims become ever more specific, alleging the company's boss, Elon Musk, said in 2017 that it would be possible for Tesla owners to sleep while their cars drove.
