Speaking at the Model Y delivery event at his Berlin facility on March 22, Musk said Tesla's FSD will enter the European market next: "Our FSD Beta is tested very well in the US and will be expanding to Canada later this week, and now I think we are ready to show it to the regulators in the EU."
Musk estimates that Tesla will be ready to show the FSD beta to EU regulators in two or three months, but he also acknowledged that Tesla needs to do a lot of work on the special situation in Europe, noting that releasing a fully autonomous car in Europe will be challenging because its road environment and language issues are much more complex than in the United States or Canada.
Musk said: "There are a lot of rules that are not the same in the Us and Europe, like in the US some things are legal by default and illegal by default in Europe, so we have to get approval beforehand, but I still think we may start testing in the EU later this year, depending on regulatory approvals." ”
In September 2021, the European Commission issued a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles, which is called the draft EU ADS regulation, which was also distributed to all member states at that time, and the EU ADS regulation will help car companies and governments develop rules for autonomous vehicles through type approval rules, according to Hogan Lovells** said, the goal of the regulation is to establish a coordinated path to L4 level or fully autonomous vehicles, which can develop safety indicators to measure the performance of vehicles. Such a scenario would be of great help when testing and deploying self-driving cars.
