France has started on‑road trials of Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system, a move that could bring the technology closer to EU‑wide approval. The tests follow the Netherlands’ April decision to grant provisional authorization, signalling growing regulatory interest in autonomous driving. French authorities will evaluate safety, performance and compliance with European standards before deciding whether to expand FSD’s availability across the continent. The trials mark a significant step toward integrating advanced driver‑assist systems into everyday traffic.
