California was the first state to take autonomous vehicles seriously.[1] DMV licenses them. There's three levels of license. The "learner's permit" is testing with a safety driver. The autonomous license is testing with no safety driver. Deployment is carrying real customers for money. Waymo and Cruise have deployment licenses, which requires testing and evaluation by DMV. You can see their cars running around San Francisco with nobody in the driver's seat. That's self-driving.
Tesla has never been able to get beyond the learner's permit. So, they can't sell a fake self driving product. It's that simple.
