TEN tesla vehicles have recently been given permission to carry out tests of the company's full self-driving (FSD) software in Shanghai to pave the way for its rollout in China, reports Reuters.
A successful rollout of its FSD software would allow Tesla to better compete with local rivals in China and could turn the world's largest auto market into a battlefield for less expensive driver assistance features, intensifying a price war.
Tesla has been offering FSD for subscription in China for four years but with a restricted set of features.
In April, the automaker's CEO Elon Musk paid an unannounced visit to Beijing, where he was believed to discuss the rollout of FSD. In May, Reuters reported that Tesla is preparing to register FSD with authorities in China in the run up to its planned rollout of this year.
