Why Tesla Renamed 'Full-Self Driving' in Europe
Original: Why Tesla Renamed ‘Full-Self Driving’ in Europe
Tesla has changed the name of its 'Full Self-Driving' feature in Europe, according to a Barron's report. The move likely reflects European regulators' resistance to marketing driver-assistance software as full autonomy, since EU rules require drivers to keep hands on the wheel and hands-on systems cannot legally be called self-driving. The renaming underscores the widening gap between Tesla's autonomous-driving ambitions in the United States and the stricter regulatory environment it faces across Europe.
Why now: Tesla's renaming of its flagship driver-assistance feature in Europe raises questions about regulatory pressure on autonomous-driving claims.
