(Reuters) - A California regulator said on Monday it is reviewing whether Tesla (NASDAQ: ) Inc violated regulations by falsely promoting its advanced driver-assistance systems as being "full self-driving." Tesla's driver assistant features, which it describes as "Autopilot" or "full self-driving" are under growing scrutiny following a series of accidents and online videos of Tesla cars driving with no one in the driver's seat. Tesla charges $10,000 for its semi-automated features such as lane changing and parking assistance under its full self-driving (FSD) software. A Tesla car driver killed in a recent accident in California had praised the automaker's "full self-driving" features and posted videos of himself apparently driving with his hands off the wheel.
