Tesla Korea's 'unverified' FSD under scrutiny

Tesla Korea's supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is facing increased scrutiny following criticism during the National Assembly's annual audit. The company's vehicles, which make up around 45,000 U.S.-made Teslas currently on Korean roads, have not undergone an official safety evaluation by relevant authorities. During the audit, Tesla Korea Country Manager Seo Young-deuk acknowledged that the company has not requested testing by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport or the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.

Seo stated that if the government establishes a system for verification, Tesla would actively undergo the evaluation.
