Tesla ordered to stop advertising 'autopilot' function

Tesla has reportedly been told to stop advertising an "autopilot" function on its cars after the term was deemed to be misleading. German transport regulator KBA wrote to the company after the feature came under scrutiny following two fatal crashes. Questions have been raised over the system after fatal crashes in northern China and Florida. There was also an incident in Germany in which a Tesla electric car crashed into a tourist bus while on autopilot. "In order to prevent misunderstandings and false expectations from clients, we are asking that the misleading term'Autopilot' no longer be used in advertisements for the system," KBA said, according to the Local.
