TESLA said on Wednesday that one of its cars had crashed in Beijing while in "autopilot" mode, with the driver contending that sales staff sold the function as "self-driving", overplaying its actual capabilities.
Tesla said it had reviewed data to confirm that the car was in autopilot mode, a system that takes control of steering and braking in certain conditions.
