Tesla FSD Sped in 55% of Brussels 30 Km/H Zones Ahead of EU Vote
Data shows widespread speeding violations in low-speed zones, raising regulatory concerns before European Union approval.
New data indicates that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software exceeded speed limits in 55% of Brussels' 30 km/h zones, a finding that comes just ahead of a critical European Union vote on autonomous driving regulations.
What Happened
According to reports from Electrek, Tesla's FSD system was observed speeding in the majority of low-speed zones in Brussels. The data highlights a significant compliance gap, with the software failing to adhere to the 30 km/h limit in 55% of the tested areas. This testing occurred in the context of ongoing evaluations by European regulators who are preparing to vote on the approval of FSD for use in the EU.
Why It Matters
This development is pivotal for Tesla's autonomy roadmap in Europe, where regulatory hurdles have long delayed the full rollout of FSD. The high rate of speeding in strict low-speed zones could influence the EU's decision, potentially leading to stricter conditions or delays in approval. For European owners, the outcome of this vote will determine when and how they can access Tesla's advanced driver-assistance features, which have been available in North America for years.
The Bottom Line
Tesla faces increased scrutiny from EU regulators as data shows FSD speeding in 55% of Brussels' 30 km/h zones, potentially complicating the software's path to approval in the region.
