Under a California law taking effect in the new year, Tesla Inc. and other car manufacturers and dealers will be prohibited from deceptively naming or marketing their vehicles as fully self-driving.
Any violation of the requirements would be punishable as an infraction, meaning possible fines, according to the text of the law. According to the office of State Sen. Lena Gonzalez, who wrote Senate Bill 1398, the amount of any monetary fine will be set later by the California Judicial Council. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk has made claims for years about fully self-driving capabilities, including promising that Tesla cars would soon function as fully autonomous robotaxis at a 2019 event that took place just before a stock offering. Tesla is not among several companies with approved permits to test fully driverless vehicles in California.
