Tesla renames FSD to 'Assisted Driving' in Europe after German branding criticism
Overview
Tesla has renamed its "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" system in Europe to "Assisted Driving" after Germany's Federal Ministry of Transport called the original branding "somewhat misleading." The ministry said the system does not take over the entire driving task and that drivers must remain attentive at all times.
The name change applies to Europe; CNBC reports the package still carries the Full Self-Driving (Supervised) name in the U.S., where it is sold as a $99 per month subscription.
