- Tesla Inc has secured approval for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised software from the Danish Road Traffic Authority.
- Denmark joins several European nations, including the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Estonia, in approving the advanced driver-assistance system.
- The company is also pursuing regulatory approval for FSD in China, its second-largest market after the United States.
Tesla Inc announced on Tuesday it secured Danish regulatory approval for its Full Self-Driving driver-assistance software, marking a significant expansion of the service in Europe. The Danish Road Traffic Authority cleared the advanced system for public road use, with a rollout to owners expected shortly.
This approval allows hands-free driving under constant driver supervision within Denmark. Consequently, the European EV giant moves closer to its long-awaited continental expansion for the technology.
Denmark now joins a growing group of European nations that have approved the software. This group includes the Netherlands, which became the first European country to grant approval in April, as well as Lithuania and Estonia.
European Union-wide approval, however, remains further out. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW is now seeking broader acceptance of the technology based on the data it has accumulated.
Meanwhile, Tesla has pursued similar regulatory approval for FSD in China. In April, the company said it was still awaiting approval in this crucial Asian market.
However, Tesla stated in a post on X that FSD is now available in China. The company did not divulge if it was granted full regulatory approval for this launch.
FSD Supervised is now available in more than 10 countries worldwide, including the U.S. Despite this progress, TSLA shares traded 4% lower following the Danish announcement.
On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around TSLA stock stayed within the ‘bearish’ territory over the past 24 hours. A Stocktwits user highlighted the stock’s volatility, which has seen a 10% decline this year.
