# Tesla Drops "Full Self-Driving" Name in Europe, Rebrands System as "Tesla Assisted Driving"

> Tesla is renaming FSD "Tesla Assisted Driving" on European sites after regulators called the old name misleading; an EU-wide vote is delayed to December.

Tesla has replaced the "Full Self-Driving" name with "Tesla Assisted Driving" on its European websites, including those in Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovakia. The change follows regulator concerns that the original name could mislead drivers. In the U.S., Tesla still sells the software as "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)".

Germany said Tesla had offered to adopt the new branding. Sweden's consumer authorities asked the national transport regulator to examine whether FSD advertising suggests full autonomy, and Italian officials warned internally that the name could make users believe in unsupervised driving. Eight EU countries have authorized the system, with Slovakia expected to be the ninth. An EU-wide vote originally expected in October has been postponed to at least December.

The rebrand does not change the software itself, which still requires continuous human supervision, and drivers remain legally responsible.
