South Korea Investigates 80 People for Illegally Activating Tesla's FSD System
Published
South Korean police are investigating 80 people for illegally activating the Full Self-Driving (FSD) autonomous driving feature in Tesla cars. According to the available information, drivers allegedly used this technology in situations not permitted by the country's regulations.
Authorities consider this use to pose a danger to road safety. FSD is a driver assistance system that, in many markets, requires the driver to remain attentive and keep their hands ready to intervene at all times. For this reason, road safety experts insist that these systems do not turn the car into a fully autonomous vehicle.
The case has sparked debate in South Korea about the regulation of automated driving technologies. So far, the police have not reported the penalties the people under investigation could face, and the process remains ongoing.
Although the news comes from outside Spain, it serves as an example of the challenges that autonomous driving systems pose for traffic laws and the safety of all road users.
