the name just told the truth. tesla renamed full self-driving to assisted driving across europe in october, after german regulators called the old label misleading, while the us still sells it at $99 a month.
regulation is now the product roadmap.
Context
CNBC and Reuters reported on October 9 that Tesla has started calling its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) feature Tesla Assisted Driving on its European websites, dropping a name regulators said was misleading. Electrek says the change follows pushback from Germany's Transport Ministry.
CNBC notes Tesla still markets the system under its old name in the US for 99 dollars a month.
The rename, the German pressure and the 99 dollars a month in the US match CNBC, Reuters and Electrek. It is described as a rename on European websites.
'In October' fits the October 9 reports. 'Regulation is now the product roadmap' is the author's opinion.
