Elon Musk promised Tesla would achieve level 5 self-driving by 2016, but so far the car has only stopped at driving assistance. A series of lawsuits allege that Tesla exaggerated its self-driving capabilities to sell cars and attract customers.
A federal judge in San Francisco has allowed a class action lawsuit against Tesla for misleading advertising. Multiple juries have ordered Tesla to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in Autopilot-related crashes.
Tesla's lawyers argued it was just "hype," but the court didn't buy it. According to Missy Cummings, a George Mason University professor and AI expert who has advised the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) on autonomous vehicles, Tesla wants to sell cars with the image of full self-driving while denying responsibility when incidents occur. Tesla's global sales fell 13% in the first half of 2025, and its shares plunged 20% due to the impact on investor confidence.
This story shows how the gap between vision and reality could expose Tesla to legal risks and reputational damage. Dear readers, please watch more videos : AI garbage - New problem on social networks VTV24
