A European road-safety group is urging EU member states to reject Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system in the EU, arguing it does not compensate for a large speed offset. The group says the system can reduce speed by about 50%, raising concerns about safety and how the technology behaves in real driving conditions.
The request comes as EU regulators consider how to evaluate and approve advanced driver-assistance and automated driving features. One report says the decision timeline may move, with a vote potentially slipping from October to December 2026. Another outlet frames the same issue around the claimed speed offset, emphasizing that the safety group’s position centers on the system’s performance rather than its underlying purpose.
Overall, the sources align on the main allegation—an estimated 50% speed offset—and on the fact that the safety group is directly pressing the EU to block approval. They differ mainly in how they describe the timing and emphasis of the regulatory process.
