6:31 am
us live from outside tesla's manufacturing plant in fremont. jessica. >> reporter: kenny, michelle, two consumer advocacy groups want the ftc and the dmv to crack down on tesla. they say tesla's advertising is deceptive because they say the company makes it seem as if the autopilot feature is safer than it is. they say statements from elon the vehies are capable of self-driving. now, tesla manuals say that drivers must keep their nd on the wheels and maintain control of the car even in autopilot mode. this complaint comes as tesla has been under scrutiny following a series of autopilot crashes. the latest in laguna beach where a model s ran into a police officer's car that was parked. the officer was not inside at the time. the driver of the tesla walked away with minor injuries. in march an apple engineer was killed when his model s crashed into a barrier on 101 in mountain view. the company had this to say: "tesla has always been clear that autopilot doesn't make the car impervious to all accidents."

lanes and get back to the right lanes to get onto 580 if that's what they are trying to do. you're going to need to give yourself extra time. chp hasn't given us a time of re-opening of the remaining two lanes. this is definitely causing a big backup. we can see traffic backed up beyond bollinger canyon at this point. if you you typically travel this route southbound 680 and you are planning on getting onto westbound 580, do yourself a favor. you can always take crow canyon and that will connect you down into castro valley. it may be a little bit longer of a route but you won't be just sitting still or at a crawl along southbound 680. right now our travel times in the red, about 22 minutes from highway 24 down towards 580 there. but that time continues to climb so again, if you know someone who travels this route give them a call let them know to avoid it. this is a live look just north of alcosta boulevard and this is the southbound direction and you see it slowly coming to a cross as they are approaching the scene of that
