I opened the settings just to check, expecting most of it to be hardwired into the system. Instead, I found that most of the ads and suggestions were controlled by simple toggles. I disabled them one by one and was surprised it took only a handful of changes to clear out almost all o...

Tesla’s Full Self-Driving System Approaching European and Turkish Approval for Urban Driving

Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised software is nearing approval for operation in Europe and Turkey, marking a significant step towards wider deployment of its driver-assistance system.

As Turkey is a member of the UNECE, the regulations will also apply within Turkey. The proposed update expands the scope of autonomous driving beyond highways to encompass urban environments. According to documentation, system-initiated maneuvers will now include traffic light and intersection n...
