The Department for Transport (DfT) has disallowed most of Tesla’s driver-assist features, which allow the driver to remain hands-off as the vehicle performs normal driving duties.
DfT officials raised concerns over Tesla’s automation features, citing safety reasons and raising the issue of potential new safety risks.
Tesla's original plans for Full Self-Driving features, allowing vehicles to become almost fully autonomous, have been significantly watered down.
The UK government wants Tesla to introduce driver assistance features in phases and prioritize safety as a crucial factor in reducing accidents.
