Tesla Gets License to Test Full Self-Driving in Shanghai, Source Says

Shanghai has granted the U.S. automaker a road test license allowing it to trial cars running its FSD software

Tesla Inc. is one step closer to launching its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in China, as the U.S. automaker has been granted a road test license by Shanghai authorities and may have begun testing the system, a source close to the city’s policymaking department told Caixin.

The information comes a day after the local government-backed Shanghai Observer, citing an official in the Lingang area, reported on Friday that Shanghai was allowing 10 Tesla vehicles to test the company’s most advanced autonomous driving software.
