Tesla renames Full Self-Driving in Europe after German regulator pressure

Original: Tesla drops 'Full Self-Driving' name in Europe after Germany pushback

Tesla has dropped the 'Full Self-Driving' name for its driver assistance package across Europe, rebranding it as 'Tesla Assisted Driving'. The change follows pushback from German regulators, who argued the marketing label overstates the system's capabilities and misleads drivers about their responsibilities behind the wheel. The rename comes as Tesla continues rolling out its driver assistance software to European markets under stricter oversight than in the United States.

Why now: German regulators challenged the 'Full Self-Driving' branding as misleading, forcing Tesla to adopt a more accurate name in Europe.
