Tesla's supervised self-driving software could be up for approval in Belgian region
YahooMay 5, 2026
Tesla's aim to roll out its supervised "full self-driving" software in Europe got a boost from Belgium on Tuesday, where the Flanders region said it was looking into whether it can quickly adopt it following approval in the Netherlands. The Netherlands' regulator provisionally approved the use of the software on Dutch roads last month, making it the first country in the EU to allow the software, which can control a car but requires drivers to pay attention. Annick De Ridder, the transport minister for Flanders, the mainly Dutch-speaking half of Belgium which borders the Netherlands, said in a post on X that she had asked Tesla to provide documents so as to possibly follow suit in her region.
