Tesla rolls out full self-driving update in South Korea
Tesla has begun rolling out its full self-driving (FSD) software update in South Korea. This expansion extends the availability of the company's advanced driver-assistance system internationally.
Automaker Tesla has made its full self-driving (FSD) software available in South Korea. The launch in the country allows drivers to utilize the company's more advanced driver-assistance system on roadways.
The FSD system uses multiple cameras and sensors to navigate and respond to its environment, steering the car within lanes, recognizing traffic lights and stop signs, and executing lane changes for overtakes. Despite its name, the system still requires constant driver supervision and is classified as an advanced driver-assistance system.
The testing and rollout on South Korean roads represent a significant step in Tesla's global strategy to expand its FSD technology. The company has previously launched the update in other markets, such as the United States and China, encountering various regulatory and approval challenges along the way.
Country-specific regulations and approval processes can influence the FSD system's capabilities and implementation. Tesla aims to gather more data and enhance the system's performance across diverse global driving conditions.
