Tesla drops 'Full Self-Driving' name in Europe after German pressure

Tesla is renaming its 'Full Self-Driving' system in Europe following pushback from Germany's Transport Ministry, which called the name misleading. The change is part of an arrangement in which Berlin is backing Tesla's bid for EU-wide approval of the driver-assistance feature. The move renews debate over whether Tesla's marketing of its automation capabilities overstates what the system can actually do.
Why now: Germany's regulator pressured Tesla into renaming the feature as part of a deal over EU approval, raising questions about misleading automation marketing.
