California passes law banning Tesla from calling software FSD

California passed a new law banning Tesla from calling its software
Full Self-Driving (FSD). Although Tesla has never claimed that FSD
was fully autonomous, the electric-maker is developing the technology
for fully autonomous vehicles.  Until its vehicles are fully
autonomous, drivers must be alert and ready to take over at all times
when engaging FSD or Autopilot.

California lawmakers, however, disagree with the labels of FSD.
Senate Bill 1398 was one of the hundreds that Governor Newsom signed
into law. The new law takes effect in 2023 and specifically targets
Tesla's name for its software. The bill was sponsored by Senate
Transportation Committee Chair Lena Gonzalez, who claimed that Tesla
falsely advertised its tech and that doing so was a safety issue.

The bill was sponsored after the California Department of Motor
Vehicles claimed that Tesla's FSD was "false advertising."

An excerpt from the new law reads as follows:

"A dealer or manufacturer shall not sell any new passenger vehicle
that is equipped with any partial driving automation feature or
provide any software update or other vehicle upgrade that adds any
partial driving automation feature, without, at the time of
delivering or upgrading the vehicle, providing the buyer or owner
with a distinct notice that provides the name of the feature and
clearly describes the functions and limitations of the feature."

[INS::INS]

"A manufacturer or dealer shall not name any partial driving
automation feature, or describe any partial driving automation
feature in marketing materials, using language that implies or would
otherwise lead a reasonable person to believe, that the feature
allows the vehicle to function as an autonomous vehicle, as defined
in Section 38750, or otherwise has functionality not actually
included in the feature. A violation of this subdivision shall be
considered a misleading advertisement for the purposes of Section
11713."

On its website on Full Self-Driving Capability, Tesla says that all
new vehicles have the hardware needed in the future for FSD.

"The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long-distance
trips with no action required by the person in the driver's seat."

"The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on
achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers, as demonstrated
by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval,
which may take longer in some jurisdictions."

"As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be
continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

In November, a Tesla owner involved in an accident on Thanksgiving
Day claimed that FSD malfunctioned, however, police are still
investigating the driver's claims. In August,  Tesla's Autopilot
Software Director, Ashok Elluswamy, shared data showing how Tesla's
Autopilot software prevents around 40 crashes daily that would have
been caused by sudden unintended acceleration. Several owner accounts
are crediting Autopilot and FSD for saving their lives.

mission.
