Sweden's transport authority recommended on April 30 that the European Union reject Tesla's "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" system for bloc-wide approval unless its capability to exceed posted speed limits is removed.
This recommendation was conveyed in a letter to the EU's Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV). The TCMV is scheduled to discuss the matter on June 30, with a subsequent vote planned on the potential rollout of the system across the European Union.
The Swedish authority's stance highlights concerns regarding the safety and compliance of advanced driver-assistance systems with existing traffic regulations, specifically the adherence to speed limits. The decision by the TCMV could set a precedent for the approval of similar autonomous driving technologies in other member states, influencing the future of Tesla's FSD deployment in Europe.
