Tesla Prepares to Launch Full Self-Driving Software in China

The electric vehicle company seeks regulatory approval to test its advanced driver-assist system on Chinese roads.

Tesla is registering its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
The company plans to initially test the system with employee vehicles before a broader rollout.
FSD could be offered as a monthly subscription, potentially opening a new revenue stream.
Tesla faces competition from Chinese automakers like BYD, Nio, and Xpeng, which have similar systems.
The move follows recent efforts to diversify Tesla's supply chain and geopolitical considerations.
