Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (Supervised) driver assistance software is now rolling out in Lithuania, making it the second European country to allow the system on public roads.
The Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration confirmed it has recognized the Dutch RDW certification that first approved FSD in Europe last month.
The expansion comes just over five weeks after the Netherlands became the first European country to approve Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) on April 10, following more than 18 months of testing by the Dutch vehicle authority RDW. The RDW approved the system under UN Regulation 171, the EU standard governing Driver Control Assistance Systems — a category of Level 2 vehicle automation.
Lithuania’s adoption followed a mutual recognition process rather than its own independent testing program. Under EU rules, member states can recognize another country’s type approval and allow the certified system to be deployed on their roads. That is exactly what Lithuania did, bypassing the lengthy testing period that the RDW conducted.
