Tesla's complete version of full self-driving technology has not yet got official approval in China, sources familiar with the matter told China Daily on Thursday, but they said progress is under way and regulatory framework for advanced driver-assistance technologies, including Tesla's, may come soon.

Market attention has recently focused on the potential progress of China's regulatory measures for smart-driving technologies, including systems such as Tesla's Full Self-Driving software.

"The full-blown version of FSD is not available in China yet," the sources added.

According to them, Tesla's official post on X that FSD Supervised is now available in countries, including China, just refers to an inferior version of Tesla's FSD, which has already been sent to drivers in China before.

They are not the full-blown version of FSD, not the FSD V14, the sources added.
