If Tesla succeeds in bringing its "Full Self-Driving" system to China, the world's largest car market, the U.S. electric-car pioneer will be shifting into the fast lane of the global race toward autonomous vehicles. On a whirlwind trip to Beijing starting Sunday, Musk came to discuss the potential rollout of its FSD driver-assistance system and the possibility of securing government approvals for overseas transfers of data from Tesla vehicles in China, according to a source with knowledge of the trip. Such data, used to train self-driving systems, would boost Tesla's long-term efforts to produce fully autonomous vehicles.
