France won’t approve Tesla β€˜FSD’ yet, wants EU-wide sign-off first

France’s Transport Minister, Philippe Tabarot, says the country won’t authorize Tesla’s β€œFull Self-Driving” (Supervised) β€œas it currently stands,” pointing to two safety problems: the system lets drivers speed, and it doesn’t keep them attentive enough in cities.

But this isn’t France slamming the door on Tesla. It’s France refusing to rubber-stamp the Netherlands’ national approval and holding out for a proper EU-wide sign-off.
