Tesla has made significant progress in its efforts to offer advanced self-driving software in China. CEO Elon Musk met with Chinese regulators and a leading AI company to address concerns about data protection and access to high-resolution maps. The company, along with five Chinese automakers, received approval for data security measures, allowing them to use self-driving systems that comply with Chinese regulations. Additionally, Tesla has struck a deal with Baidu to access high-resolution maps. These developments have positively impacted Tesla's stock and come as the company faces challenges in the US regarding its Autopilot system. Despite concerns about safety, both Tesla and Chinese automakers are pushing forward with self-driving technology.
