Tesla Rebrands Full Self-Driving as Assisted Driving in Europe

Original: Tesla Rebrands Full Self-Driving as Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe

Tesla is renaming its Full Self-Driving package to Tesla Assisted Driving for European customers. The move aligns the branding with EU regulators' stance that the system is a driver-assistance feature requiring constant supervision, not an autonomous driving product. The change is likely to fuel ongoing debate about whether Tesla's marketing of its driver-assistance software overstates its capabilities and about safety scrutiny of the system in Europe and elsewhere.

Why now: Tesla's naming change reflects regulatory pressure in Europe over how driver-assistance features can be marketed.
