Tesla allowed on Finnish roads before final EU approval

Finland has approved Tesla’s driver-assistance software for use on public roads, allowing the company to offer the system to customers immediately. The approval could be revoked depending on the result of an EU-level vote expected in the coming weeks. Finnish regulator Traficom recognised a temporary type approval granted by Dutch vehicle authority RDW. Officials cited Tesla’s changes to system naming and speed settings and the limited number of eligible vehicles in Finland.
