- A U.S. judge on Wednesday rejected Tesla's bid to dismiss a lawsuit accusing Elon Musk's electric car company of misleading owners into believing that their vehicles could soon have self-driving capabilities.

LoSavio said he was still waiting for the technology six years later, with Tesla remaining unable "even remotely" to produce a fully self-driving car. Tesla has for many years faced federal probes into whether its self-driving technology might have contributed to fatal crashes.
