Tesla is set to roll out a software update in China that will introduce driver-assistance features similar to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in the U.S., according to a source familiar with the plan, reports Bloomberg.
The update, expected in the coming days, will enable Tesla owners who purchased the 64,000-yuan ($8,800) FSD package to use driver-assist functions on city streets. The system will guide vehicles through exit ramps and intersections, recognize traffic signals, make turns, and adjust lanes and speeds.
Despite being marketed as self-driving, Tesla’s FSD requires human supervision and frequent interventions. CEO Elon Musk has been seeking regulatory approval to launch FSD in China and aims to introduce it this year.
Tesla has begun testing the system internally, allowing employees in China to trial FSD under strict confidentiality agreements, sources said. This is exciting news for Tesla to be able to test these FSD features in China. The more data learned by vehicles using these features allows for the system to get smarter over time.
