Sweden’s transport authority has told the European Union it should vote against approving Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” across the bloc unless the system’s ability to exceed posted speed limits is removed.
The recommendation, in a previously unreported April 30 letter to the EU’s Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV), lands just before the committee is due to take up the matter on June 30, ahead of an eventual vote on a bloc-wide rollout.
Sweden’s objection: a car that speeds on purpose
The Swedish Transport Administration’s complaint centers on a specific Tesla feature. FSD lets a driver set a “Speed Offset,” allowing the vehicle to travel above the posted limit by a margin the driver chooses.
The agency told the TCMV that “allowing automated systems to systematically exceed legal speed limits … risks undermining both the legal framework and the expected safety benefits of vehicle automation,” according to the letter.
