Tesla Assisted Driving (formerly FSD) approved in Finland. The eleventh country in Europe
On November 10, 2026, Finland’s transportation authority Traficom recognized the temporary homologation issued by the Dutch RDW and approved Tesla Assisted Driving for use on its roads, which is the European version of FSD (Supervised). Finland is the eleventh country in Europe to grant such approval. An update is set to roll out soon, but Tesla has not specified a date. Poland is still not on the list.
Approval Borrowed from the Netherlands
Traficom did not evaluate the system from scratch. The decision was based on the temporary homologation issued by RDW on April 10, 2026. Most previous approvals were granted through the same mechanism of mutual recognition: a country accepts the technical assessment from the Dutch rather than repeating the entire process. It’s fast and legal, though the pace of expansion depends on when a national authority receives the Dutch documentation.
The order is as follows: Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Latvia, and now Finland.
Latvia joined at the end of October as the tenth country, and the local CSDD agency reviewed Tesla’s amendments before making a decision, including stricter limits on speed deviations from the set limit. The name in the documents also changed. On November 3, RDW officially approved the rebranding from “FSD (Supervised)” to “Tesla Assisted Driving” (TAD), although Tesla itself began using the new name on its websites as early as October.
Only HW4 and only in a subscription
The installation uses software version 2026.39.100 and requires a Hardware 4.0 or newer computer. Tesla owners with HW3 will not receive the system, even if their country has given approval. According to the June pricing list, the subscription in markets where TAD is already available costs 99 euros per month, and 49 euros for those who previously purchased Enhanced Autopilot. In Poland, the subscription price is 420 zł per month. A one-time purchase is no longer available in these countries. The system still requires constant driver supervision, so the driver must remain seated with hands ready.
December and voting in Brussels
Eleven national approvals do not yet mean approval across the entire Union. The approval from the TCMV (Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles under the European Commission) is required, and it is not expected until December 2026 at the earliest. A positive decision would open the way for the remaining EU countries, including Poland. The outcome is not certain, as Sweden’s transport authority already recommended rejecting the system in June unless Tesla removes the feature that allows driving above speed limits.
By December, each country decides for itself, and Polish authorities have not yet recognized the Dutch homologation.
