According to Jalopnik, multiple consumer and automotive safety groups are upset about Mercedes’ claims of having the “first self-driving car” and have asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the company.

Earlier this month, a print advertisement was discovered displaying the new 2017 E-Class as a “self-driving car from a very self-driven company.” Mercedes later reached out to Jalopnik to clarify that the car is not, in fact, “self-operating,” and that the print ad would be part of a new campaign for the E-Class using “industry vernacular,” despite not actually being a self-driving car.
