Tesla accused of misleading FSD marketing in South Korea

The significance here is less about the technology than about the liability surface for how automated-driving features are marketed across jurisdictions where regulatory approval lags the branding. The complaint puts a consumer-protection agency, not a financial regulator, at the center of the dispute, which shifts the exposure from securities-style disclosure questions to advertising and consumer-law ones. It affects Tesla's Korean owners and, by extension, any automaker selling capability-branded software ahead of local legal clearance. The open question is whether the agency treats this as a single-company advertising matter or as a template for how driver-assistance claims are policed in the market.
