Finland Clears Tesla Assisted Driving Tech After Changes
Traficom said the renamed system can be used immediately after Tesla tightened speed controls, while EU approval remains pending.
- On Wednesday, Finland's transport authority Traficom permitted Tesla's Assisted Driving system for use on Finnish roads after recognizing the provisional type-approval granted by the Dutch authority.
- Traficom approved the technology after Tesla renamed it from "Full Self-Driving" and tightened speed-control settings that critics said previously encouraged speeding.
- Representing around 0.3 per cent of the total vehicle fleet, Traficom's Jukka Juhola told Reuters, "We wanted to go a little bit ahead to allow drivers to use the system on our roads before the really bad winter conditions arrive."
- The Netherlands became the first European country to grant provisional approval in April, and nearly a dozen countries, including Belgium and Croatia, have since allowed the technology under driver supervision.
- An EU-wide vote is expected this winter, with a meeting scheduled for December; a rejection would invalidate national approvals already granted by member states.
