Czech Republic approves Tesla's self-driving
The country's Ministry of Transport granted provisional approval for Full Self-Driving Supervised, making it the seventh European nation to do so.
Safety concerns drove the review
Czech regulators initially worried about how FSD Supervised handles traffic lights, speed limits, and driver attention monitoring before approving the system.
Dutch approval paved the way
The Czech agency based its decision on provisional approval from the RDW, the Dutch auto regulatory authority, issued in April 2026.
Seven countries now allow FSD Supervised
The Czech Republic joins the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, and Slovenia in approving Tesla's driver assistance system.
France testing, EU vote looming
France is currently running tests on FSD Supervised, while Tesla seeks approval from at least 15 of 27 EU member states in a vote potentially happening in October.
The bottom line
Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised is expanding across Europe, with the Czech Republic now the seventh country to grant approval, though larger markets like France are still testing the system.
