Tesla has beaten a lawsuit alleging that the company and its top officials misled the public and investors over the state of its autopilot systems.

Plaintiffs in the case failed to show that Tesla CEO Elon Musk and other officials committed fraud with statements such as the autopilot, on average, being safer than normal drivers, U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín said in a Sept. 30 ruling.
