In June, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration released a document showing it had In promoting its Enhanced Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features in 2016, the company produced a video showing a person in the driver’s seat of a moving Tesla, with a message in the beginning saying, “He is not driving anything. The car is driving itself,” the suit alleges. However, Tesla employees later revealed the car was benefiting from mapping software unavailable to Tesla customers, “and that the car still performed poorly and even ran into a fence during filming,” the suit claims.
