Tesla renames its driver-assistance package in Europe
On October 9, 2026, Tesla changed the name of its driver-assistance software to Tesla Assisted Driving across Europe following pressure from regulators. The change comes after officials called the old name misleading because the software still requires you to keep your hands on the wheel.
Germany's Transport Ministry pushed for the change, arguing that the system only helps with steering, braking, and accelerating rather than driving completely on its own. In exchange, Berlin agreed to support the company in getting fast-tracked approval across the European Union.
Back in the United States, the software is still sold under its original name as a $99 per month subscription, which reached 1.48 million active users earlier this year.
