According to an April report from The Wall Street Journal, Chinese authorities have already tentatively approved the launch of Tesla’s Full Self Driving software. However, the company’s progress with European Union regulators remains unclear at this time.

Full self-driving for Cybertrucks

Tesla also revealed that its Full Self Driving software would be available for Cybertruck models starting this month, alongside the autopark feature.

In addition, new features, including unpark, park and reverse functions, will be added to the FSD suite in October.
