Overview
- Denmark’s road authority provisionally approved Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) system after its own review of the Dutch RDW dossier, with the authority announcing the clearance on Tuesday and Tesla saying rollouts to eligible cars will begin soon.
- The Danish approval relies on the RDW’s April provisional type approval, which the Dutch authority issued after more than 18 months of testing that included over 1.6 million kilometres driven, 13,000 ride‑alongs and 400+ compliance checks.
- EU‑level acceptance remains unresolved because the European Commission’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles has not scheduled a decisive vote, and a Commission rejection would render the Dutch provisional approval invalid after six months and nullify dependent national recognitions.
- Commercial availability is limited: Tesla is deploying FSD (Supervised) by over‑the‑air updates, charging a €99 monthly subscription and initially restricting access to vehicles equipped with the company’s Hardware 4 computer.
- Regulators and safety groups continue to flag concrete concerns about FSD’s speed handling, icy‑road and winter performance, and the effectiveness of eye‑tracking driver monitoring, while Germany, France and Italy have not moved toward approval and could block a bloc‑wide vote.
