Tesla’s Autopilot fraud case ‘may go forward.’

So says federal Judge Rita Lin, in her ruling on a lawsuit brought against Tesla alleging the automaker misled consumers by overstating the capabilities of its driver assist products. She dismissed several other claims brought by the plaintiff asking for injuctive relief and monetary damages. But fraud? Fraud’ll do.

“If Tesla meant to convey that its hardware was sufficient to reach high or full automation, the [second amended complain] plainly alleges sufficient falsity,” Lin writes.
