Apr 28, 2024, 10:40 PM
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has successfully secured a partnership with Baidu, Inc. to introduce Tesla's advanced self-driving features in China. This partnership involves using Baidu's mapping and navigation functions, crucial for deploying Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) services in the country. The collaboration aims to clear regulatory hurdles and enable the rollout of FSD technology in China, Tesla's largest market by next year. Musk's trip, which was not announced in advance, included meetings with senior Chinese officials such as Premier Li Qiang, focusing on the FSD rollout and data transfer permissions. This strategic move coincides with the Beijing auto show, where competitors showcased new electric vehicles. Following the announcement, Tesla's stock jumped significantly, and China removed restrictions on Tesla's cars after they passed data security requirements.
