Tesla Renames Its Driver-Assist System in Europe to “Tesla Assisted Driving”
Electric carmaker Tesla has renamed its driver-assistance system in Europe from “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” to “Tesla Assisted Driving”. The change followed pressure from Germany's Transport Ministry.
Electric vehicle maker Tesla has changed the name of its driver-assistance system in the European market. The system, previously called “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)”, will now be known as “Tesla Assisted Driving”. The change became known in October 2026.
Why the name changed
The company renamed the system after pressure from Germany's Transport Ministry. The former name had been judged controversial, since it could suggest a car that drives entirely by itself, even though the system requires the driver to supervise.
What it means
The move can be seen as a significant compromise by the company, which had used the earlier name for years. The new name stresses that the system assists the driver rather than replacing him or her.
The source does not say whether the way the system works or its features will change. All that is known at this point is that the name has changed in Europe.
