By the end of this year, CEO Elon Musk expects approval for FSD with driver-side control (Supervised) in Europe, the PRC, and other countries, as stated in July.

The system can now be accessed in both the United States and Canada. Tesla has also talked about licensing with other car manufacturers.

Despite its misleading name, FSD does not enable cars to operate autonomously and necessitates ongoing supervision.

Approximately half of Tesla's revenue in the first six months of the year came from international markets, with China representing 20%.
