Back in 2020, a German court said Tesla Inc's TSLA use of the words Autopilot and Full Self-Driving for marketing were misleading. It shed doubt on Tesla using those phrases and opened the possibility the company would need to rename those software options, at least in Germany.

But now, as shared by Tesmanian, it seems that the lawsuit has failed. The German appeals court reversed the lower court ruling, and now the words Autopilot and Full Self-Driving can be used in marketing. This decision cannot be appealed.
