Tesla has created a page dedicated to the Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in its European markets, another step toward the long-awaited rollout of its supervised autonomous driving system across the continent.
As highlighted on a post on X by user RonnyGolisch, the pages are equivalent to the ones recently launched in Canada and the United States.
The FSD page is currently available in local websites like Tesla France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, among others.
However, the brand is still waiting for regulatory approval in the continent — as mentioned by the CEO Elon Musk, who urged Tesla drivers to pressure national authorities to approve the system.
Elon Musk stated on X that the U.S. brand is “waiting for Dutch authorities and then the EU to approve” the system.
Tesla started testing its supervised FSD software in Germany early last year, with the presence of the Swedish Transport Administration’s Senior Adviser Rikard Fredriksson.
Earlier this month, the company released new videos showing FSD testing is now underway in Berlin and Rome. Tesla had already showed the technology being tested in Paris and Amsterdam.
The system was blocked from testing in Stockholm, Sweden, as “the city and the office are under heavy pressure from other ongoing innovation tests.”
Reacting to the information, Musk stated on X that “FSD in Europe will save lives of people in the car, as well as vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists and pets.”
The FSD may be made available in the continent by late September, according to a new regulation by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).
Despite approving the system’s use, the regulation limits it to highways that are physically separated from cities, meaning that most functionalities will not be available in Europe.
The system is currently available in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and China. In the U.S., it can be purchased for $8,000 — or as a $99 monthly subscription.
In its home market, Tesla is progressing with the unsupervised version of FSD, having launched its driverless ride-hailing services in Austin last week.
Last Friday, Tesla completed its first ever fully autonomous delivery, a day earlier than predicted by the CEO.
The Model Y drove itself from the factory directly to the customer’s home in Austin, a 30 minutes-long trip without human intervention and with no safety supervisor in the passenger seat.
Prior to being delivered, Tesla‘s engineering team installed the Robotaxi version of the FSD software which was then downgraded to the latest publicly available version before being delivered to the new Tesla owner.
“There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous,” Musk stated on X.
The chief executive added that “this is the first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car or remotely operating the car on a public highway.”
Tesla‘s VP of AI Software Ashok Elluswamy confirmed that the “max speed was 72 mph” (116 km/h) on the highway.
