Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, recently took an impromptu trip to Beijing, according to a report released on Sunday. This unexpected visit has sparked excitement and anticipation for the introduction of Tesla's autopilot and supervised full self-driving technology in China - the company's second-largest market, as reported by the South China Morning Post.
China is currently focused on promoting the use of advanced driver-assistance systems and increasing the availability of autonomous driving functions in mainstream vehicles. In a recent update on X.com, Musk had mentioned that Tesla plans to make their full self-driving (FSD) technology accessible to customers in China in the near future.
Although Tesla had released FSD, their most autonomous version of Autopilot, four years ago, it has yet to be launched in China. Musk's latest trip also coincided with the ongoing 2024 Beijing Auto Show, as stated in the report.
Musk's visit to China was preceded by speculations about his visit to India and a possible meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this month. However, due to important quarterly results for Tesla, the tech billionaire had to postpone his plans and may visit India later this year to announce his investment plans. In a post on X, Musk explained that the heavy obligations of his company required him to delay his trip to India. However, he did express his eagerness to visit the country later this year.
