Tesla expects that its advanced driver assistance system Full Self-Driving (FSD) will soon receive approval in the European Union. This was reported by springerprofessional.de. Approval would be a crucial milestone for the spread of autonomous driving functions in Europe, where strict UNECE regulations apply.
[!Important]
EU approval is a prerequisite for the widespread use of FSD in Europe. Currently, FSD is only available in a few countries such as Estonia and Belgium.
Tesla has already conducted tests in several EU countries and is working closely with regulatory authorities. However, final approval will depend on meeting safety requirements. If approval is granted, Tesla drivers across Europe could benefit from enhanced highway and city functions.
Table: FSD Status USA vs. Europe
Hardware Comparison: HW3 vs. HW4
- HW3: Previous standard platform, sufficient for current FSD functions.
- HW4: New generation with improved cameras and AI chip, expected for future functions.
The future of autonomous driving in Europe depends significantly on this decision. Tesla remains optimistic that approval will come this year.
