Despite its name, 'Full Self-Driving' does not make Tesla cars fully autonomous. Drivers must still remain attentive and ready to take control of the vehicle at any time. Tesla could face a 30-day sales ban in the US state of California after a court found that the company exaggerated the capabilities of its 'Autopilot' system, which assists the driver. The California Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Tuesday that it was postponing enforcement for 60 days to allow the American company to make changes. The department also stated that if Tesla fails to do so, it will suspend its dealer's license in the state for 30 days. According to estimates from a group of dealers, Tesla sold about 135,500 vehicles in California in the first nine months of the year, down 15% from the previous year, ranking third behind Toyota and Honda. The court also suggested suspending Tesla's manufacturing license in the state for 30 days, although the Department of Motor Vehicles said this action was suspended indefinitely. The naming and marketing of Tesla's Autopilot system, particularly its 'Full Self-Driving' capability, have long been controversial.
