Tesla FSD earns high praise in South Korea's real-world autonomous driving test
"As per the Korea Expressway Corporation's report, the FSD test was conducted on December 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Four people were in the Tesla that was tested, including the head of the mobility department. All four FSD driving modes were tested, from "Sloth" to "Mad Max." To test FSD's performance, the system was tasked to operate on highways such as Gyeongbu, Cheonan, and Cheonan-Nonsan, as well as city areas in Dongtan New Town, Sejong Special City, and Daejeon Metropolitan City."
"Results showed FSD performing well, both in inner-city roads and on highways. In inner city roads, the testers noted that FSD was capable of autonomous driving at a level that already exceeds that of general human drivers, except in very few areas, such as unprotected left turns and work zone intersections. In highways, the testers described FSD's performance as "excellent," though the system still showed frequent cases of violations in local bus lanes and max speed limit rules."
The Korea Expressway Corporation conducted an FSD test on December 15, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with four occupants including the head of the mobility department. All four FSD driving modes were evaluated, from "Sloth" to "Mad Max." Testing covered highways (Gyeongbu, Cheonan, Cheonan-Nonsan) and city areas (Dongtan New Town, Sejong Special City, Daejeon). Only imported Model S and Model X units were used. Results showed strong performance on highways and inner-city roads, with inner-city driving often exceeding general human drivers except at unprotected left turns and work zone intersections. Highway operation was described as excellent, though violations occurred in local bus lanes and maximum speed limits; some behaviors prioritized traffic flow over strict rules and could be addressed via software updates.
