Tesla's Self-Driving System Approved in Croatia
The approval adds Croatia to a growing European rollout as safety groups warn the system can exceed speed limits by up to 50%.
Tesla stated that its supervised Full Self-Driving system has been approved in Croatia, with a rollout across the country expected to begin soon, joining a growing list of European countries authorizing the technology.
The Dutch regulator RDW approved the system in April, with Belgium and Neighbouring Slovenia following suit, while the agency now proposes EU-wide approval across the bloc.
Safety concerns emerged after the European Transport Safety Council warned that FSD's speed offset function can raise the maximum speed by as much as 50% above detected limits, prompting investigations from Sweden, France and the Czech Republic.
An EU-wide rollout requires a "qualified majority" of 15 of the EU's 27 member states, representing 65% of the bloc; an expected vote was delayed, with the next decision not before December.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that delaying the approval of FSD "will cost lives," as the automaker views European expansion as crucial for boosting sales amid growing competition from Chinese electric-vehicle makers.
