Tesla drops 'autonomous driving' label in Europe
Original: tesla autopilot
Tesla is dropping the term 'autonomous driving' for its Autopilot system in Europe to avoid regulatory and legal problems. French automotive outlet L'Auto-Journal reports the company will rename the features, since the technology still requires driver supervision and does not meet the legal definition of autonomy. The move reflects growing regulatory scrutiny of driver-assistance marketing claims across European markets.
Why now: Tesla is renaming its Autopilot features in Europe to comply with rules on how driver-assistance systems can be marketed.
