Tesla rolls out advanced self-driving functions in China ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The announcement comes after years of attempts to overcome regulatory hurdles blocking the update in the world’s largest automobile market.

The functions described are similar to the “Full Self-Driving” capability it offers in the United States.

The update “has already been released for some car models, and will be gradually rolled to other suitable car models”, Tesla said.

Tuesday’s statement follows an announcement by Chinese automaker BYD -- Tesla’s biggest rival in the country -- that it would introduce advanced self-driving technology for nearly all its cars.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made several trips to China in recent years in an effort to win crucial data security clearance for the company’s locally produced models.

But the Tesla CEO remains a popular figure in China.

China’s tech companies and automakers have poured billions of dollars into self-driving technology in an effort to catch industry leaders in the United States.

In the city of Wuhan, more than 500 driverless taxis ferry passengers across large swathes of the city as part of Chinese tech giant Baidu’s Apollo Go project.

The Chinese automaker said this month that it would now make the system available even in budget models priced below $10,000.
