German authorities are telling electric automaker Tesla to stop using the term “autopilot” for its driver assistance system, saying it is misleading.
The transport ministry confirmed in an email that a letter to that effect had been sent to the company based in Palo Alto, California.
Autopilot is Tesla’s array of driver assistance features such as lane maintenance and traffic-aware cruise control.
One person was killed in Florida in May when a Tesla Model S with the system on hit the side of a truck.
