This is a gotcha headline that is contradicted by one of the quotes from Tesla they list in their own article: Please note that Tesla’s development of true autonomous features (SAE Levels 3+) will follow our iterative process (development, validation, early release, etc.) and any such features will not be released to the general public until we have fully validated them and received any required regulatory permits or approvals. TL;DR: Tesla does not want their upcoming release of FSD Beta to be considered to be above Level 2, and their lawyers are submitting documents to California saying that it shouldn't be considered above Level 2 and thus they shouldn't have to apply for special permits in California to release it. They continue to work on autonomous driving features.
