The German Transport Minister has asked Tesla to stop using the term "Autopilot" for its cars' autopilot system, on the grounds that it may mislead drivers into thinking that the car can drive itself. According to Germany's Bild am Sonntag newspaper, minister Alexander Dobrindt sent a letter to Tesla asking it to stop advertising the feature under its current name.
