Tesla has announced plans to launch its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in Europe and China by the first quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approval. This news was revealed in a roadmap released by the company’s artificial intelligence team on Thursday. CEO Elon Musk outlined the new developments on his social media platform, X.

The plans include integrating FSD in the Cybertruck by this month and aiming to achieve six times the current “improved miles between necessary interventions” by October. During the Q2 earnings call in July, Musk mentioned that Tesla would likely secure regulatory approval to launch FSD outside the U.S., including in Europe, by the end of 2024. The expansion into these markets is expected to open new revenue streams for the electric vehicle giant through FSD sales and subscriptions.

Tesla also aims to release FSD version 13 in October, an upgrade from the current V12.5. However, the roadmap did not provide details about the company’s robotaxi, which is set to be unveiled on October 10 at an event in Warner Bros. studio in Burbank, California.
Tesla expands Full Self-Driving globally
On Thursday, Tesla’s stock rose by 3.1% to close at 226.45, following a 4.2% gain to 219.41 on Wednesday.

Despite recent struggles, Tesla’s stock is down around 12% in 2024 but has made a significant rebound of about 60% from a late-April low. The FSD service builds on Tesla’s existing Autopilot driver assistance system, which is already available in Europe and China.
Tesla also offers a premium option called Enhanced Autopilot in China. Since 2016, Musk has assured investors that Tesla would advance to a stage where its cars could drive themselves entirely. However, the company has yet to fulfill this vision completely.
Competitors like Waymo in the U.S. are already running commercial robotaxi services. The FSD expansion is part of Musk’s broader strategy to position Tesla at the forefront of AI and self-driving technologies.
