Tesla CEO Elon Musk has visited Beijing, China to discuss the implementation of the autopilot system in the country. The surprise visit comes after customer requests for the system, despite it not yet being introduced. Despite selling 1.7 million cars in China in just over a decade and having a Shanghai factory, Tesla’s autopilot system has faced recent scrutiny due to safety flaws highlighted by a research report by the US Federal Transportation Safety Agency. During his visit, Musk will engage with Chinese authorities to address concerns and work towards implementing the autopilot system in China. The company has been collecting data from its cars operating in China since 2021 but has not yet received any from Chinese authorities. This underscores Tesla’s commitment to addressing safety issues and improving its technology for the Chinese market.
