Tesla is also expected to reveal its robotaxi "Cybercab" in October in the US.
ADVERTISEMENTTesla, Elon Musk’s electric vehicle (EV) company, announced plans on Thursday to launch its "Full Self Driving" (FSD) product in Europe and China in early 2025, pending regulatory approval in the regions.
Tesla's official AI account posted on X, Musk’s social media platform, that the FSD assistance product would arrive in the first quarter of 2025.
FSD launched in beta in the United States in 2020 but has yet to launch in Europe or China.
The European Commission announced last year it was fast-tracking the European autonomous driving regulations, called UNECE Regulation on Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS)".
For the moment, only Phase 1, which only allows hands-on driving, has been approved.
Tesla is expected to unveil its robotaxi “Cybercab” in a month, which a Tesla video purported to show had no steering wheel.
According to reporting by Bloomberg, Tesla is planning to use the Warner Bros movie studio in Los Angeles to reveal the product on October 10.
Musk said in July that Tesla was likely to get regulatory approval for FSD in both Europe and China by the end of the year.
However, Musk has been promising since 2016 that Tesla will have driverless technology but hasn’t yet succeeded in delivering on the commitment.
