The reason Tesla does not fall under this legislation seems pretty simple to me, but IANAL…

The law applies to vehicles with the "capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator".

Tesla FSD does not have this capability. If the driver does not consistently demonstrate that they are actively monitoring the vehicle and in physical control, then the “AutoPilot(TM)” feature deactivates.

”An autonomous test vehicle does not include vehicles equipped with one or more systems that provide driver assistance and/or enhance safety benefits but are not capable of, singularly or in combination, performing the dynamic driving task on a sustained basis without the constant control or active monitoring of a natural person.”
