Tesla banned from promoting Autopilot after German court ruling

American electric car maker Tesla has been banned from using the term 'Autopilot' when advertising its semi-autonomous driving technology in Germany, after a Munich court ruled the claims were "misleading consumers". On July 14, the Munich Regional Court ruled in favour of a German competition group which argued Tesla's German website was suggesting its cars "could and should drive autonomously by the end of 2019".
