Consumer Watchdog, Center for Auto Safety Ask FTC to Investigate Tesla Self-Drive Ads, Marketing

The FTC should investigate “dangerously misleading and deceptive advertising and marketing practices and representations made by” Tesla, regarding its driverless technology, said the Center for Auto Safety and Consumer Watchdog Wednesday. At least two are dead and one injured as a result of the automaker “misleading consumers into believing its vehicle's Autopilot feature is safer and more capable than it is in practice,” they said. Tesla and FTC didn’t comment.
