Tesla FSD Supervised is Now Rolling Out in Belgium

Tesla has officially announced it’s rolling out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in Belgium, one day after Flemish Mobility Minister Annick De Ridder signed off on the approval.

De Ridder announced the regulatory greenlight on Wednesday after Tesla completed local public road testing, pushing the final paperwork to Belgium’s homologation department. Tesla confirmed the rollout today, making Belgium the fifth European country to get the software.

The timing is notable — Denmark approved FSD just one day before De Ridder’s announcement, so Tesla is on a pretty quick roll across Europe right now. The full list of approved countries so far: the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and now Belgium.

Rather than waiting for a blanket EU-wide approval, Tesla has been working country by country using a framework established by the Dutch vehicle regulator RDW, which granted a provisional European type approval under UN Regulation 171. That certification lets individual countries review the Dutch technical dossier and fast-track their own local approvals instead of starting from scratch.

Worth noting for anyone expecting a hands-free experience — Belgian law makes clear that the human driver remains fully responsible for the vehicle at all times and must be ready to take over immediately. This is supervised driving, not full autonomy.

Tesla has been sharing safety data from the Netherlands to help make its case, pointing to figures showing vehicles on FSD Supervised were involved in 3.5 times fewer collisions compared to manual driving during the first two months of operation there.”

The over-the-air update is expected to roll out to eligible Belgian Tesla owners in the coming weeks, with newer Hardware 4 vehicles getting priority.
