Since the beginning of this year, there have been many reports about Tesla's FSD landing in the Chinese market. According to people familiar with the matter, China supports Tesla to try some functions of FSD first under the premise of complying with existing laws and regulations.
However, FSD has not yet been approved by the regulatory authorities for its official entry into China, and the relevant evaluation work is still in full swing. Musk also applied to the relevant departments to use some video data to train the system, and promised that these data can be strictly reviewed by the relevant departments.
In early September, Tesla's AI team released a product roadmap, saying that it is expected to launch fully autonomous driving in China and Europe in the first quarter of 2025. But people familiar with the matter told me: "Not so fast", and the relevant work is still in the evaluation stage. The relevant departments are conducting in-depth research and analysis on autonomous driving technology, data security, laws and regulations, and technical standards.
Musk once proposed to the relevant departments that he hopes to directly obtain some non-sensitive video data to train the autonomous driving system. He also suggested that there could be a special government team to comprehensively evaluate the data to ensure the security of the data.
