The automaker has been criticized for misleading drivers with the feature's name. Tesla's most advanced driver-assistance feature is named Full Self-Driving (Supervised), but it can't actually drive itself. While the feature can handle tasks like accelerating, braking, steering, and parking, the automaker requires drivers to stay alert and intervene at all times. Now, the company has officially renamed it to Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD) in Europe as it works to convince regulators to allow its use on public roads. Tesla offered to change the name, according to a statement by the German Transport Ministry.

Elon Musk on Monday panned a pilot version of an advanced driver-assistance feature Tesla Inc. is developing, a week after U.S. car-safety regulators opened a probe into a more basic iteration of the company's driving aide. The statement amounts to a public concession by the Tesla CEO of a shortcoming in a driver-assistance feature designed to help vehicles steer through urban areas. The feature, available on a relatively small number of vehicles as part of a pilot program, is part of what Tesla calls Full Self-Driving, or FSD, technology. "FSD Beta 9.2 is actually not great," Mr. Musk said via Twitter, adding the company "is rallying to improve as fast as possible." Tesla vehicles come equipped with driver-assistance technology the company calls Autopilot.
