Tesla renames Full Self-Driving to Assisted Driving in Europe

Tesla is rebranding its 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised)' feature as 'Assisted Driving' in Europe after German regulators said the original name was misleading. The move follows pressure from Germany’s transport ministry, which argued the software still needs drivers to pay attention and intervene. The system remains available as 'Full Self-Driving' in the US, while European officials will now consider broader approval for the renamed version later this year.

• German regulators called 'Full Self-Driving' misleading
• Tesla agreed to rename it 'Assisted Driving' in Europe
• European approval process for the system continues
• In the US, it’s still called Full Self-Driving
• German ministry may now support wider rollout
