In recent weeks, rumors have begun to circulate that Tesla wants to start testing Full Self-Driving (FSD) in China. They indicated that Shanghai could be the first city to deploy a pilot program. The rumors were reinforced by the fact that Chen Kele, Deputy Director of the Intelligent Manufacturing Promotion Office of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology, revealed plans for Shanghai to amplify its cooperation with Tesla. He stated that the city aims to become a global technology hub, enhancing its focus on autonomous driving and robotics among other sectors.
On Monday, Tesla China officially denied rumors that Shanghai should be the first city in China to pilot FSD technology. The company called these reports unfounded.
