Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. (fuelarc.com)

From the last earnings call in 2024, Elon discussing bus-lanes:

Like, bus lanes in China are one of our biggest challenges in making FSD work in China is their bus lanes are very complicated. And there's like literally like hours of the day that you're allowed to be there and not be there.

And then if you accidentally go in at bus lane at the wrong time, you get an automatic ticket instantly... Anyway, we'll get this solved.

Wait, what do you mean - this isn't already solved? Tons of markets have time-controlled bus lanes, including American cities where FSD is fully operational.

Turns out, nope! Videos of FSD ignoring bus-only lanes are easy to find.

I feel bad for the bus drivers in Austin who will be sharing their lane with Tesla's autonomous taxi fleet in a couple weeks...

So the only difference is basically government regulations. In the US he can do whatever he wants so he pushed an incomplete FSD implementation that's already killed people without any consequence, elsewhere governments have minimal standards that expose what kind of a fraud he actually is. And it's not that China is anti-FSD, their local car companies already have one that presumably can deal with the bus lane issue.
