Tesla's FSD in China Sparks Controversy After a Year of Real-World Tests Revealing Frequent Violations

By February 2026, Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assistance system will have been available in China for nearly a year, yet user reviews remain sharply divided. While some supporters praise it as "driving like a human" and "far ahead of the competition," many other owners have shared traffic tickets resulting from FSD errors—such as lane straddling, running red lights, and mistakenly entering bicycle lanes—joking that their driver's license points "aren't enough to cover all the violations." As the complexity of real-world driving conditions becomes increasingly evident, FSD is facing a serious test in adapting to local road environments.
