Tesla Intensifies Campaign for EU Approval of Full Self-Driving Technology Amid Safety Concerns
Tesla is vigorously pushing for the European Union to approve its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology, with recent backing from Germany aiding its efforts. The EU vote on the matter has faced delays and criticism, particularly regarding safety aspects and performance data. A recent Belgian test revealed instances of the FSD speeding and violating traffic rules, raising further concerns among safety groups who urge the EU to reject the technology. Despite the scrutiny, Tesla received approval to roll out supervised FSD software in Croatia, marking a small victory in its broader push across Europe. Elon Musk has expressed appreciation for German support in accelerating the approval process, yet the EU-wide decision remains on hold, with an official vote not expected until December.
