    This is why Tesla owners should have a 'cabin cam' that records the display screen and front window.

    Source: Judge rules against Tesla insurance over 'inflated' premiums

    In a consumer protection lawsuit against the company’s insurance unit, Oakland’s Alameda County Superior Court Judge Brad Seligman rejected Tesla’s request to dismiss the suit, adding that the company must face a prospective class-action suit (via Reuters). The consumer protection suit alleged that Tesla Insurance used incorrect warnings to determine the driver’s safety score rather than using actual driving behavior as the product claims.

    The suit claims that several Tesla drivers “reported suffering sporadic and random Forward Collision Warnings when there is no danger in sight,” which effectively drops a person’s safety score and increases the premiums they must pay.

    Stephens said the false warnings were due to “Tesla vehicles’ still-in-development sensor technology.”

    I am getting a little tired of false alarms from Full Self Driving. Anymore, I don't care what it claims and actually see relief in being 'struck out.'
