Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s director of autonomous driving, has hinted that the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology could soon expand to a ‘lot more countries.’ This comes as Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, continues to push the boundaries of autonomous vehicle technology.
Elluswamy’s comments were made during a recent interview, where he discussed Tesla’s ongoing efforts to refine FSD and its potential global rollout. ‘We’re working hard to ensure FSD meets regulatory requirements in various markets,’ Elluswamy said. ‘The goal is to make this technology accessible to as many people as possible.’
Analysts suggest that Tesla’s expansion plans could face regulatory hurdles, particularly in regions with stringent safety standards. ‘While Tesla has made significant progress, each country has its own set of rules for autonomous driving,’ said an industry expert. ‘Navigating these will be crucial for widespread adoption.’
Looking ahead, Tesla’s FSD expansion could mark a significant milestone in the evolution of autonomous vehicles. However, the timeline for this rollout remains uncertain, with regulatory approvals and local testing requirements likely to influence the pace.
