Tesla Renames Its Driver Assistance System in Europe

Electric carmaker Tesla has changed the name of its driver assistance system in Europe from "Full Self-Drive" to "Assisted Driving". The move is linked to pressure from Germany.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla has changed the name of its driver assistance system in Europe. Until now the system was called "Full Self-Drive", meaning fully self-driving. It has now been renamed "Assisted Driving", which essentially means a driving assistant.

The change is described as Tesla yielding to pressure from Germany. The source does not specify which German authorities or requirements are involved.

The system itself has not been changed: it is the same solution under a new name. The renaming applies to Europe.
