Why it matters for readers: This explains why Tesla changed the label and how regulators influence what companies can market as 'self‑driving.'

  • Tesla changed FSD pages in several European countries to 'Tesla Assisted Driving', while the US site still uses 'Full Self‑Driving (Supervised)'.1
  • The renaming follows criticism from regulators that the 'Full Self‑Driving' name was misleading for consumers.1
  • Tesla is pursuing EU‑wide approval for the software and has been encouraging supporters to lobby national regulators, according to reporting cited in the article.1
  • Germany confirmed Tesla had offered to switch to the new name, and webpages for countries including Slovakia, Spain and the Netherlands now redirect to the new branding.1
