France has ordered Tesla to stop "deceptive practices" related to the marketing of its vehicles' self-driving features, warning that Elon Musk's company could face daily fines exceeding $58,000 until it complies.
Following investigations conducted in 2023 and 2024, France's Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) concluded that Tesla engaged in "deceptive commercial practices" by falsely advertising its vehicles as "fully autonomous." In reality, the vehicles require a human to be in the driver's seat, paying full attention to the road, the Financial Times reported.
