Tesla is expanding the Autopilot team in Europe. New jobs in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Munich, Germany to improve Tesla's autopilot system hint at FSD Beta testing in the region.

Tesla continues to work hard to deliver full autonomous driving. The company's efforts are focused on the developments that are being made as part of its FSD Beta. The current version of the software proved to be excellent. While it is not yet fully self-driving, many testers say they do many hours of driving without a single intervention. The development of the company in this direction is so good that in version 12 of FSD Beta, Tesla plans to abandon the use of the word “beta” in the name of the software, as Elon Musk previously stated.

With great achievements in the development of full self-driving, Tesla is poised to expand into new markets outside of the US and Canada. Recently, the company has opened several job postings for Autopilot operators around the world, including the US, Canada, and Australia, highlighting its efforts.

In addition, Tesla aims to develop in Europe, which is its third largest market in the world. According to a job listing on the manufacturer's website, the company is looking for an Autopilot Data Collection Operator / Driver. Jobs are posted for Amsterdam, Netherlands and Munich, Germany.
