France has begun testing Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology on public roads, marking a significant step in the company's push to gain regulatory approval across the European Union. The move follows the Netherlands granting provisional authorization for FSD testing in April, and together the two nations' actions signal growing momentum toward a broader EU-wide framework for autonomous driving systems. For Tesla, which has long faced a patchwork of national regulations in Europe, coordinated testing across multiple member states could pave the way for a unified approval process that would dramatically accelerate its rollout of the feature. The development also intensifies competition with European automakers and other tech firms racing to establish a presence in the autonomous vehicle market.
