France has opened its roads to Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, marking a significant step in the company's push for regulatory approval across the European Union. The move follows the Netherlands' provisional authorization of the technology in April, and together the two countries' actions signal growing momentum toward a broader EU framework for autonomous driving. For Tesla, which has long faced regulatory hurdles in Europe compared to its home market in the United States, gaining traction in multiple member states could set the stage for a continent-wide rollout. The development also raises fresh questions about how European regulators will balance innovation with safety standards as more automakers race to deploy driver-assistance features on public roads.
