Swedish authority raises safety concerns
The Swedish Transport Administration (TRV) has advised the European Commission to postpone approval of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) suite for the EU market. An internal assessment indicates that the system may exceed posted speed limits under certain conditions, posing a potential safety risk.
Recommendation to the EU
TRV's report calls for the European Union to defer the FSD certification until Tesla demonstrates that the software can reliably prevent unintended speed limit breaches. The agency urges the automaker to issue software updates that enforce mandatory adherence to local speed regulations.
Tesla's response
To date, Tesla has not issued an official comment on the allegations. The company has previously highlighted that its driver‑assist features are continuously refined via over‑the‑air updates and that compliance with regional traffic laws remains a core objective.
Implications for EU approval
The Swedish recommendation could delay the rollout of FSD across the European Union. If the European Commission aligns with the member states' concerns, Tesla may be required to conduct additional testing and integrate further safety safeguards before the system can be marketed in Europe.
Next steps
TRV will continue to monitor the situation and publish further findings as new data become available. Meanwhile, the European Commission will review Tesla's submission and decide whether the raised issues merit withholding the FSD authorization.
