On May 30, three insiders disclosed that Tesla is preparing to register its fully autonomous driving software with Chinese authorities, aiming to launch this advanced feature later this year.
According to the sources, Tesla is considering selling the software to its Chinese customers, its second-largest market, through a monthly subscription.
Two insiders mentioned that obtaining software registration from Chinaβs Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will enable Tesla to begin internal testing of Full Self-Driving (FSD) in China. Tesla employees will test-drive the system on public roads, with plans to offer it as an upgrade to Chinese users in the upcoming months.
Currently, Tesla offers two less advanced versions of its Autopilot driver-assistance system in China.
The company currently provides the FSD service to owners for a one-time fee of 64,000 RMB ($8,828.32). In the future, Tesla may offer this service for about $98 per month.
Reuters previously reported that Tesla is also considering licensing FSD to other Chinese automakers. (Source: Bianews)
