Tesla renames Full Self-Driving to Assisted Driving in Europe

AI-generated briefing · First published

Tesla changed its driver-assistance software name in Europe after German regulators called the prior label misleading.

Tesla has renamed its driver-assistance system in Europe from “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” to “Tesla Assisted Driving” following objections from Germany’s transport ministry that the old name was misleading. [1] [2]

Germany’s transport minister Steffen Bilger said the system supports acceleration, braking and steering but does not perform the entire driving task and that drivers must remain attentive. Bilger will now push for EU-wide approval ahead of a vote later this year. [1] [2]
