A report published September 28 says the EU Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles’ scheduled October 6, 2026, meeting will devote 25 minutes to continued discussion of the Netherlands’ request to extend Tesla FSD Supervised authorization across the EU. The reported agenda lists no vote. December is the earliest possible later voting window, not a set vote date.
The October 6 agenda schedules continued discussion
The reported agenda assigns the item a 25-minute slot, from 11:45 a.m. to 12:10 p.m. The committee is scheduled to discuss the Netherlands’ request; the reported agenda does not list a vote on it.
The request remains pending. It seeks to extend the Netherlands’ national authorization for FSD Supervised across the EU.
The request builds on the Netherlands’ national authorization
The Netherlands’ authorization was granted under Article 39 of Regulation (EU) 2018/858, according to the account of the decision. That national authorization is the basis for the request now under discussion at EU level.
The account also reports national recognition of the Dutch authorization in Denmark, Belgium, Estonia, Lithuania, Slovenia and the Czech Republic. It describes reservations in Sweden and France involving speed settings and driver supervision.
December is the earliest possible later voting window
The committee’s next meeting after October is scheduled for December, making that the earliest reported opportunity for a later vote. A vote then is not guaranteed. The committee discussed the request without voting in June, according to the account.
An EU-wide extension would require a qualified majority: at least 15 of the 27 member states, representing at least 65% of the EU’s population, according to the reported threshold.
FSD Supervised still requires driver attention
FSD Supervised is described as an advanced driver-assistance system. The driver remains responsible, must pay attention to the road and must be ready to intervene.
