Tesla's Full Self-Driving System Passes Arc de Triomphe Test

Tesla has demonstrated the impressive capabilities of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system by taking it to one of the most chaotic traffic junctions in Europe — the Parisian Place de l'Etoile near the Arc de Triomphe. This is where 12 busy streets converge, and the traffic resembles organized chaos rather than strict traffic rules

FSD technology is still not available for mass use in Europe and requires human attention. However, Tesla is actively testing the system in Paris and Amsterdam, moving towards certification. A special feature of Tesla's approach is the rejection of lidars and 3D maps: the autopilot relies exclusively on visual data from cameras and the work of a neural network. The company claims to have already collected more than 5.7 billion kilometers of “real-world” data, of which 3.4 billion were collected as of 2024.
