What happened
European regulators required Tesla to change the branding of its driver assistance software in Europe on October 12, 2026. The regulators determined that the 'Full Self-Driving' branding was misleading to consumers. As a result, Tesla will rename the system to 'Tesla Assisted Driving' in the region, a change that has already begun appearing on European websites.
