California law BANS Elon Musk's Tesla from advertising its electric vehicles as 'full self-driving'

Tesla won't be able to advertise its cars as Full Self-Driving starting next year under a new California law. Senate Bill 1398 was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsome and it targets the electric automaker's marketing of software features in some models that imply the cars can fully drive themselves - which they cannot. Elon Musk's company lobbied against the bill, arguing that it already makes customers aware of the technology's limitations. Tesla owners in the U.S. must pay extra $15,000 for full self-driving software and were required to have a safety score of at least 80. However, Musk recently announced that anyone in North America can now request the FSD software.
