Elon Musk visits China as Tesla seeks self-driving technology rollout

Mr Elon Musk hopes to meet senior Chinese officials to discuss the roll-out of Full-Self Driving software in China, one of the sources said.

Tesla has since 2021 stored all data collected by its Chinese fleet in Shanghai as required by Chinese regulators and has not transferred any back to the United States. Rival Chinese automakers such as Xpeng have been seeking to gain an advantage over Tesla by rolling out similar software. “It is good to see electric vehicles making progress in China. All cars will be electric in the future,” Mr Musk said in a video posted on social media by a user affiliated with state media.

The other jet registered under Falcon Landing is N628TS, which is Mr Musk’s main jet that he used to travel to China on his last trip nearly a year ago, when he met Chinese government officials in Beijing and visited Tesla’s Shanghai factory. GM CEO Mary Barra on April 26 made an unannounced visit to the show in the world’s biggest auto market, according to two people with knowledge of her schedule. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Also on April 26, Ms Grace Tao, Tesla’s vice-president in charge of external relations in China, published a commentary on the social media account of state media outlet People’s Daily, arguing that autonomous driving technologies would be the new growth engine for the EV industry.
