Tesla’s push to bring its Full Self-Driving system to Europe is hitting a wall of skepticism from the people who actually have to approve it. Nordic regulators from Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark have raised pointed concerns about the safety data Tesla submitted to support its FSD (Supervised) system, questioning whether the numbers tell the full story.
The Dutch RDW granted type approval for FSD (Supervised) on April 10, 2026, marking Tesla’s first European regulatory green light.
The data Tesla is selling, and what regulators aren’t buying
Tesla submitted 1.6 million kilometers of road test data and conducted 4,500 closed-track tests as part of its bid for European approval. On June 9, the company published safety figures claiming its FSD system recorded 3.5 times fewer collisions than human drivers during the test period between April 10 and June 5.
Breaking that down further, Tesla claimed 3.4 times greater safety on highways and 1.6 times on non-highways.
