Overview
- Flanders said an accelerated screening found Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) largely in order but called for limited, region‑specific testing before any homologation.
- Belgium’s federal mobility minister was asked to authorize those tests so the region can decide quickly, which could make Flanders the second European market after the Netherlands.
- The Dutch vehicle authority RDW already approved the software and presented its Article 39 file to the EU’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles, which is expected to hold a qualified‑majority vote requiring at least 15 countries representing 65% of the EU population.
- Denmark’s Road Traffic Authority rejected media reports that it had criticized the system, saying it does not recognize the views attributed to it, even as several Nordic agencies have publicly flagged risks like speeding and icy‑road performance.
- Spain has logged about 80,000 kilometres of testing on 30 Tesla cars without reported incidents, yet many countries plan to wait for the EU process to conclude, which could leave drivers with a patchwork of access until a bloc‑wide decision is made.
