Tesla Korea: "FSD Supervised Coming Soon to Korea"

Post uploaded on Tesla Korea's X account
Preparation underway in Europe, China, and Japan

Tesla Korea announced on November 12 that it will soon launch its advanced driver assistance system, "Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised," in the Korean market.

On the same day, Tesla Korea posted a brief message on its official X (formerly Twitter) account stating, "FSD Supervised, next destination: Korea. Coming soon."

Along with the post, the company uploaded a video showing a Tesla vehicle, presumed to be test-driving autonomously with FSD Supervised on domestic roads. The footage showed the driver taking their hands off the steering wheel while the vehicle independently changed lanes and parked itself.

Tesla distributed FSD Supervised to general consumers in the United States in July of last year, following beta testing primarily among North American users. The term "Supervised" was adopted to emphasize that, although the vehicle can independently make decisions regarding acceleration, braking, and steering, continuous driver supervision is still required.

Tesla is currently in the certification stage with plans to launch FSD in Europe and China by the end of 2024. Tesla's FSD is currently available mainly in North America, including the United States, and recently, test drives using FSD have begun in Japan as well.
