Tesla’s (TSLA) FSD Receives Praise in South Korea after Real-World Test

Tesla’s (TSLA) Full Self-Driving (FSD) system received a positive review from the Korea Expressway Corporation after a real-world autonomous driving test in South Korea. More precisely, a report that was shared on Naver Cafe praised the system’s safety, smooth driving behavior, and overall confidence. Interestingly, the testers said that the EV maker’s FSD handled situations calmly and reliably, especially during extended highway driving, where consistency is critical.

The test was conducted on December 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with four people in the vehicle, including the head of the mobility department. All four FSD driving modes were evaluated, ranging from the cautious “Sloth” setting to the aggressive “Mad Max” mode. Importantly, the vehicle drove on major highways such as Gyeongbu, Cheonan, and Cheonan–Nonsan, as well as through city areas like Dongtan New Town, Sejong Special City, and Daejeon Metropolitan City.

According to the results, FSD performed well in both city and highway environments. In urban areas, testers said the system already surpasses the average human driver in most situations, with issues mainly appearing during unprotected left turns and construction zones. On highways, performance was described as “excellent,” though testers noted that it repeatedly violated bus lanes and speed limits. In some cases, FSD appeared to follow traffic flow rather than strict traffic rules, an issue officials said could likely be improved with future software updates.
