Tesla renames 'Full Self-Driving' to 'Tesla Assisted Driving' in Europe

Tesla has officially changed the name of its advanced driver assistance software in Europe to "Tesla Assisted Driving," dropping the controversial "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" moniker. The change comes after pushback from Germany's transportation ministry, which argued the previous name was misleading regarding the system's actual autonomous capabilities. Following the rebrand, German transport officials have signaled support for pushing European-wide approval of the software ahead of an upcoming EU vote. While Tesla faces ongoing scrutiny over safety claims and regulatory hurdles, this strategic compromise could unlock significant new revenue across the European market.
