Tesla faces increasing scrutiny from US regulators over the safety of its automated driving systems and is set to face its first jury trial in February over a driver fatality blamed on Autopilot.
Matsko says that every year since 2016, Musk and Tesla have promised that a fully self-driving car “was just around the corner.”
“It is now four years later, and Tesla has never provided plaintiff anything remotely approaching the fully self-driving car it promised to provide,” Matsko said in the complaint.
The suit piggybacks on an administrative complaint filed in August by the California Department of Motor Vehicles accusing Tesla of false advertising. The agency claims the company’s statements about its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features lead customers to believe they are more advanced than they are. Tesla has asked for a hearing to defend itself.
