Tesla Prepares to Deploy Long-Awaited FSD Features in China
Tesla is readying a software update for customers in China to offer driver-assistance capabilities similar to those marketed as Full Self-Driving, allowing vehicles to guide to exit ramps and intersections, and recognize traffic signals, make turns, and handle changing lanes and speeds. The update aims to resolve challenges faced by the company in deploying FSD in China due to regulatory limits on training its system to handle local roads. Tesla plans to deploy this update to customers who have paid for the feature.
- This move could accelerate the development of autonomous driving technologies globally, as Tesla's efforts in China may lead to the creation of more standardized and comprehensive mapping data.
- What implications will this deployment have for consumer trust and expectations regarding the performance and safety of self-driving features in vehicles?
