I never understood how Tesla's "Full Self Driving" marketing was legal.

I get the impression that false advertising laws are weakly enforced in the US, but this seems like an example where you can't come up even with a veneer of plausible deniability. It literally does not offer full self driving and the marketing creates serious life-threatening risks for the public.

I think you're right: it shouldn't be legal. But there's a clear underfunding/political unwillingness to prosecute big non-slam-dunk cases. Now with Trump in power that's exceedingly unlikely on a federal level.
