An EU regulatory committee will extend its review of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software application, delaying a critical decision until at least December. The discussion, originally set for October, now requires member states to weigh in on whether the system meets safety and legal standards before any approval can proceed. With no firm timeline yet, the process highlights ongoing debates over automated driving regulations in Europe. Industry observers will watch closely as the outcome could set a precedent for future self-driving technology approvals.


An EU committee will continue discussing Tesla's FSD request Oct. 6, with December now the earliest opportunity for a required vote by member states.
