Investing.com -- Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc. is preparing to roll out a software update in China that will offer driver-assistance features similar to those sold as Full Self-Driving (FSD) in the United States. The software update is expected to be released in the coming days, according to an anonymous source familiar with the situation.

The update will enable Tesla owners to use driver-assist features on city streets. The company plans to inform customers that the system can guide vehicles to exit ramps and intersections, recognize traffic signals, handle lane changes and speed adjustments, and execute turns.

The new capabilities will be available to customers who have paid 64,000 yuan ($8,800) for the FSD package. Despite the name, these features still require constant human supervision and frequent interventions.

Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has been actively seeking regulatory approval for FSD to operate on Chinese roads and has aimed to launch the system in China this year.
