Germany Pushes for EU Approval of Tesla’s FSD Supervised

German Transport Minister Steffen Bilger has announced he will push for approval of Tesla's FSD Supervised system for all drivers in the European Union. Berlin is also considering a national approval route if EU negotiations fail.

## An announcement from Berlin

German Transport Minister, **Steffen Bilger**, spoke at a conference organized by **Tagesspiegel Background** in **Berlin**. He stated he will support the launch of Tesla's **FSD Supervised** antiestéticature for drivers across the **EU** soon. Journalist **Lena Ganssmann** reported his remarks.

Bilger believes the system has potential to increase road safety and wants to support innovation. His commitment is that this system can be used throughout Europe as soon as possible.

## A German route if Brussels stalls

The minister does not rule out that Germany explores its own approval route if community-level negotiations fail. That is, Berlin reserves the option to authorize the system in its territory even if the European framework does not allow it.

This possibility introduces additional pressure on the European process. FSD approval affects vehicle type approval, an area harmonized in the EU, and a unilateral German decision would open an unprecedented scenario.

## What is FSD Supervised

**FSD Supervised** is Tesla's full self-driving function in supervised mode. The driver must maintain attention and responsibility for the vehicle. It is not unsupervised autonomous driving.

Its approval in Europe depends on type approval authorities and compliance with safety regulations. Bilger's announcement does not equate to effective authorization.
