NHTSA Complaint #11412816 — 2021 TESLA MODEL Y

I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO FORCE AUTOMAKERS TO STOP USING NAMES FOR THEIR DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURES THAT OVERSTATE THE CAPABILITIES OF THOSE FEATURES. A DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD AS AUTOPILOT IF IT CANNOT PILOT THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY. A DRIVER ASSISTANCE FEATURE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD AS "FULL SELF-DRIVING" IF IT CANNOT DRIVE ITSELF FULLY. IT IS DECEPTIVE, DANGEROUS, AND WRONG. "DRIVER ASSISTANCE STANDARD" AND "DRIVER ASSISTANCE PLUS" ARE FAIR, SAFE, AND APPROPRIATE TERMS THAT DO NOT IMMEDIATELY TEMPT ABUSE. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY ACT IN THE INTEREST OF CONSUMER AND PUBLIC SAFETY TO STOP THESE MISLEADING AND UNSAFE PRACTICE BY AUTOMAKERS. I SUBMIT THIS ON BEHALF OF THE 4/16/2021 HARRIS COUNTY, TX CRASH VICTIMS, THOSE WHO HAVE COME BEFORE, AND THOSE WHO WILL CONTINUE TO DIE BELIEVING THEY ARE IN A SELF-DRIVING CAR.
