French transport minister says Tesla FSD is not autonomous driving, approval put on hold
France has put on hold approval of Tesla’s driver-supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) assistance feature, saying the system in its current state allows speeding and does not adequately ensure driver attention in urban settings. Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said the safety balance was not yet sufficient and described FSD as not an autonomous driving system. France is seeking an EU-aligned approval framework and is continuing technical talks with the Netherlands and Tesla.
