UPDATE 1-Tesla scores Autopilot victory as judge rules owners must use arbitration

In a victory for Tesla, a judge has ruled that a group of vehicle owners must pursue claims that the company misled about its Autopilot features in individual arbitration rather than court. The ruling means Tesla will not have to face class action claims on behalf of much larger groups of vehicle owners. U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam in Oakland, California, in a decision issued on Saturday said four Tesla owners who filed a proposed class action last year had agreed to arbitrate any legal claims against the company when they accepted its terms and conditions while purchasing vehicles through a Tesla website.
