Tesla Touts European Supervised Self-Driving Safety Data Ahead of EU Vote
Tesla said its supervised system had 4.1 times fewer collisions than manual driving as it presses for wider EU approval.
- On Tuesday, Tesla reported its Full Self-Driving technology recorded 4.1 times fewer collisions than manually driven vehicles across five European countries, intensifying lobbying efforts ahead of an EU-wide deployment vote.
- The Netherlands granted provisional approval for FSD in April, prompting Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, and Lithuania to follow; broader adoption requires support from at least 15 of the 27 EU member states representing 65 per cent of the population.
- Tesla open-sourced a safety dashboard on Tuesday to boost transparency, yet experts told Reuters the company's statistics rely on invalid comparisons that could provide a misleading impression of performance.
- Data showed FSD-equipped cars had three highway collisions versus 137 in manual vehicles based on more than 100 million km of driving, though the Dutch road authority RDW keeps underlying data commercially sensitive.
- With a vote potentially occurring as soon as October 6, Tesla is urging regulators to approve broader FSD deployment, viewing such authorization as crucial for boosting sales across Europe.

Tesla wants to extend through Europe FSD (Supervised), its most advanced assisted driving system, capable of handling much of the driving tasks but without turning the car into autonomous, since the driver remains ultimately responsible for everything and must therefore remain attentive and ready to intervene at any time. FSD corresponds to Full Self-Driving, literally complete autonomous driving, but the system that Tesla markets in Europe bear…
A few weeks before the European vote on 6 October, Tesla puts forward spectacular FSD safety figures in Europe. Between promises of safer roads and disputed methodology, the manufacturer's offensive could weigh heavily in Brussels.
