A rundown of the news making headlines in and around China:

Tesla FSD: Tesla Inc. is offering its Chinese customers a one-month free trial of its Full-Self Driving (FSD) feature, which still requires drivers to keep their hands on the wheel. Tesla China clarified that FSD is a level 2 driving assistance feature, which was described in Chinese as an “intelligent assistance function.” According to recognized autonomous driving classifications, level 2 does not meet the requirements to qualify as autonomous driving. Tesla China told drivers that they must keep their hands on the wheel, stay alert to road and traffic conditions, and be prepared to take control of the vehicle while using FSD.
