Tesla now sells its driver-assistance package in Europe as “Tesla Assisted Driving,” not “Full Self-Driving.” In the US, the product keeps its name, as of October 12, 2026.
What changed
Electrek reports that Tesla’s German website no longer uses “Full Self-Driving,” and the old address redirects to a new page. The new page is mostly a translation of Tesla’s US FSD page with the name swapped.
Germany’s Federal Ministry of Transport said in an October 6 statement that the old name was misleading. According to the ministry, Tesla offered the new name during talks in September.
Where the system is approved
Electrek lists eight EU countries that have approved the system: the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Czechia and Croatia. Germany is not on the list yet. A bloc-wide vote has slipped to December at the earliest, according to Electrek. It needs 15 of 27 member states representing 65% of the EU population.
Speed limits are one sticking point. Germany says the system can go up to 10% over the speed limit, and Tesla will need to change the software to comply.
What it means for US owners
Nothing changes for you today. Electrek reports that Tesla’s US page still sells “Full Self-Driving (Supervised).” The same article notes a California judge’s December 2025 ruling that criticized the name, but it does not say Tesla has changed its US naming in response.
The “Supervised” label matters in either market: the driver stays responsible for the car at all times. Check Tesla’s own owner’s manual for what the feature does in your car, since availability varies by hardware and region.
