The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom, has officially authorized the use of Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD) on public roads. Finland is now the 11th European nation to approve the system, following a similar decision in Latvia.
Traficom based its approval on the temporary vehicle type approval previously granted by Dutch authorities. Tesla is now permitted to offer the system to its users in Finland, and eligible vehicles can immediately enable the functionality under driver supervision.
The system was formerly known as FSD (Supervised). On November 3, the Netherlands Vehicle Authority (RDW) approved adjustments to the software, including the name change to Tesla Assisted Driving and stricter speed offset limits, now capped at 10% instead of 50%.
The RDW clarified that the name change does not alter the nature of the system, as the driver remains fully responsible for vehicle operation. While other countries like Estonia, Croatia, and Belgium have also permitted the technology, a unified EU-wide approval remains pending.
