Tesla Europe secures supervised FSD approval in Croatia
Summary
Tesla has received approval for its supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology in Croatia, marking another expansion of its regulatory acceptance in Europe, following previous approvals in countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium. The rollout of this functionality is set to begin soon, but it is important to note that the FSD remains restricted to supervised operation and does not yet include unmanned robotaxi services. This approval process reflects a trend where individual EU countries can grant permission independently of the broader EU regulatory framework, as long as they obtain local regulatory stamps.

Analysis
Tesla: Tesla is an electric vehicle manufacturer and developer of autonomous driving software, including its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. In this news, Tesla has received regulatory clearance for supervised FSD in Croatia. The approval enables near-term rollout and follows similar clearances secured in other European markets. Tesla Europe: Tesla Europe manages regulatory approvals, operations, and software deployments for Tesla vehicles and features across the European Union. The unit secured approval for supervised FSD specifically in Croatia. This continues a pattern of country-by-country clearances that leverage the Dutch RDW temporary approval pathway. EU Regulatory Path: Individual country approvals can proceed independently of full EU-wide rulebook compliance when local regulatory stamps are obtained. Autonomous Features: Approvals remain limited to supervised operation and do not extend to unsupervised robotaxi capabilities. Regulatory Expansion: Tesla's supervised FSD has now gained approvals in multiple additional European countries beyond the initial set of markets.
