WhoWhatWhy -  A federal judge ruled yesterday that Tesla must face a lawsuit alleging that it committed fraud by misrepresenting the self-driving capabilities of its vehicles. … California resident Thomas LoSavio’s lawsuit points to claims made by Tesla and CEO Elon Musk starting in October 2016, a few months before LoSavio bought a 2017 Tesla Model S with ‘Enhanced Autopilot’ and ‘Full Self-Driving Capability.’ US District Judge Rita Lin in the Northern District of California dismissed some of LoSavio’s claims but ruled that the lawsuit can move forward on allegations of fraud. … Musk claimed at an October 2016 news conference that a Tesla car would be able to drive from Los Angeles to New York City ‘by the end of next year without the need for a single touch.’”
