Tesla Cuts FSD Speed Margin in Europe to 10%
WHY IT MATTERS
The reduction demonstrates Tesla’s pivot toward stricter regulatory compliance, easing EU approval prospects and aligning the system with German safety conditions while limiting driver autonomy in speed management.
What happened
Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system, approved in the Netherlands by the RDW in April, can no longer be set to exceed speed limits by 50%. The Dutch regulator confirmed an update that caps the speed margin at 10% and officially renames the feature from “FSD Supervised” to “Tesla Assisted Driving.”
The change comes weeks before EU member states are scheduled to vote on approving the system across the bloc, and it mirrors the conditions Germany imposed last month. The update reflects Tesla’s response to regulatory scrutiny over the system’s speed‑limit‑exceeding capability and signals a tighter alignment with European safety standards.
Drivers will now experience a more conservative speed‑management mode, potentially improving compliance and easing the pathway to broader EU approval.
