Tesla FSD in South Korea: investigations and criticism
In South Korea, police are investigating around 80 people suspected of circumventing usage restrictions on Tesla's FSD, and a court has dismissed owners seeking a refund for the option. A consumer association accuses Tesla of misleading customers whose vehicles could not legally use the software, while a specialized outlet reports that the option was billed to buyers even though 99% of 2025 sales could not legally use it. These elements are fueling a debate over the inadequacy of the automotive safety framework for software and AI. The case is also covered in the United States, but the provided sub-events do not detail facts specific to that market.
