In a surprise move, the French government has become the first European Union administration to publicly express opposition to the Dutch-led approval of Tesla's highly-contested Full Self-Driving (FSD) software. Citing safety concerns, France's stance marks a significant departure from the EU's typically harmonized regulatory approach. The FSD system has been at the center of controversy, with critics arguing that it can be prone to errors and put drivers and pedestrians at risk. As the EU continues to grapple with the implications of autonomous vehicle technology, France's bold move may set the stage for a broader debate on the regulation of self-driving cars.
