Tesla CEO Elon Musk visited Beijing over the weekend, reportedly to discuss with senior government officials the rollout of his full self-driving (FSD) software and permission to transfer data overseas, only a week after canceling a planned visit to India.

The automaker giant in 2018 reached an agreement with Chinese authorities to build a plant in Shanghai, its first outside the United States, which later opened in 2019. Its FSD technology was introduced four years ago but has not yet been made available to the Chinese market.
