Tesla Launches Full Self-Driving in Lithuania

Lithuania became the second European country to allow Tesla’s supervised driver assistance system on public roads after recognizing Dutch certification.

  • On Wednesday, Lithuania became the second European country to authorize Tesla's Full Self-Driving by recognizing the Dutch RDW certification granted last month.
  • The Dutch RDW authority pioneered the approval on April 10 following over 18 months of rigorous testing, establishing a certification framework that EU member states can now adopt through mutual recognition.
  • Lithuanian Transport Minister Juras Taminskas emphasized the system's potential to assist with lane-keeping and traffic tasks, while stressing that drivers must remain alert and ready to intervene.
  • The Greek transport ministry confirmed an upcoming bill to grant similar approval, while Belgium is also expected to authorize the system's use soon as adoption spreads.
  • While Tesla seeks EU-wide availability, the process faces skepticism from Scandinavian regulators regarding speeding and winter performance, making the company's goal for summer 2026 coverage increasingly ambitious.
