Tesla renames Full Self-Driving to "Assisted Driving" in Europe
Shows why the name change matters less than the speeding question regulators are stuck on.
Tesla's European websites now call its driver-assistance software "Tesla Assisted Driving" instead of Full Self-Driving, days after Germany's transport ministry said the old name was misleading because the system never takes over the driving task, The Next Web reports. The U.S. site still sells Full Self-Driving (Supervised). Electrek found the new German page is otherwise a translation of the U.S. one. The bigger obstacle to EU approval is speed tolerance: Germany wants a cap at 10% over the limit.
