EU Vote on Tesla’s Supervised Self-Driving System Pushed Back
The draft agenda lists only continued discussions, and the vote needs support from 15 of 27 member states representing 65% of the bloc’s population.
- The European Union delayed its vote on Tesla's FSD Supervised yesterday, according to an agenda for the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles, which lists only a 25-minute "continuation of discussions" instead of a decision.
- Dutch regulator RDW approved the system in April, prompting seven countries—including Belgium, Denmark, and Czechia—to recognize it nationally; however, an EU-wide rollout requires a qualified majority of 15 of 27 member states representing 65% of the bloc's population.
- Sweden and France have raised concerns about FSD exceeding speed limits and driver attention, while the Technical Committee previously approved Ford's BlueCruise system, establishing precedent for autonomous driving technologies.
- CEO Elon Musk responded to the delay by posting "sigh" on X, as the Technical Committee has already discussed the request twice without reaching a decision on the Article 39 authorization.
- Tesla views EU-wide FSD approval as vital for boosting sales and regaining market share against Chinese electric-vehicle makers, with December now the earliest opportunity for a bloc-wide vote.
