Elon Musk’s visit to China has resulted in approval in principle for FSD in China and a FSD mapping partnership with Baidu.
Here’s what you need to know:
• Tesla Inc. received in-principle approval to deploy driver-assistance system in China
• Tesla did manage to clear two of the most important hurdles: reaching a mapping and navigation deal with Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc., and meeting requirements for how it handles data-security and privacy issues.
• Approval for FSD in China could be a major revenue boost for $TSLA and unlock new opportunities
Last week and the last month, I had described how Tesla could make huge stock gains with significant milestones with FSD.
