Tesla has proposed to launch robotaxis in China, Chinese state media reports

BEIJING - Tesla has proposed to launch robotaxis in China, newspaper China Daily reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed sources.

According to the report, China may support Tesla's domestic testing and demonstration of robotaxis but has not approved the full implementation of Full Self-Driving software in China.Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the China Daily report. FSD is the most autonomous version of Autopilot software and was rolled out in 2020. Its features include self-parking, auto lane changes and traffic navigations.
