Tesla is expanding its Supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system to regions like China and Mexico but is facing regulatory obstacles in the UK. The UK’s Department for Transport has proposed new regulations limiting the scope of autonomous driving capabilities, which could significantly slow the rollout of Tesla's technology in Europe. The original draft allowed more complex maneuvers, but a revised version restricts functions to only highway driving with driver's active engagement required. The regulatory changes arise from concerns regarding driver behavior and safety risks associated with automated driving systems.
The technological advancements in these systems are promising, but there remain concerns about their impact on driver behaviour, situational awareness and overall safety.
Whilst [a driver assistance system] may help in reducing collisions, it may also introduce new safety risks.
