Drive my Tesla on Autopilot here?
Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and FSD Supervised are not the same product in every country. Here's what actually works where, and why.
Quick answer
Basic Autopilot (lane-keeping + adaptive cruise) works almost everywhere Tesla sells cars. In the EU, the Netherlands became the first country to approve FSD Supervised in April 2026, and Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Estonia have since recognized that approval too. The rest of the EU, plus the UK, Norway and Switzerland, are still waiting on national sign-off or a bloc-wide vote. You're legally responsible for the car everywhere, regardless of what's switched on.

Why isn't it the same everywhere?
Tesla ships the same hardware worldwide, but which features are switched on depends on local vehicle type-approval law. In Europe the key regulation is UN R-171: the Netherlands' RDW granted the first FSD Supervised type approval in April 2026 after 18+ months of testing, and under EU mutual recognition, other member states can adopt that approval via a national notification instead of retesting from scratch. Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Estonia have done so; the rest are still evaluating, and a bloc-wide TCMV vote (needing at least 15 of 27 states and 65% of the EU population) is next expected in October 2026. Outside Europe, the older UN R79 rules still cap Enhanced Autopilot and block FSD in the UK, Japan and South Korea.
🟢 FSD Supervised approved
Full feature set. Either no R79/R171-style restriction (US, Canada), or the national regulator has recognized FSD Supervised type approval directly.
🟡 Restricted / pending
Basic Autopilot works normally, but automatic lane changes, Summon range and steering-assist speed are capped by law, and FSD Supervised approval is still pending national or EU-wide sign-off.
🔴 Basic only
Only lane-keeping and adaptive cruise are available. Either no clear regulatory framework exists yet, or FSD specifically has been blocked by the national regulator.
Approval status tracked live at fsdtracker.eu, worth a check before you travel since this map has been redrawing itself almost weekly since April 2026.
Frequently asked
Basic Autopilot is legal across the EU, UK and other UN/ECE R79 signatory countries. It runs with reduced functionality compared to the US: automatic lane changes must complete within 5 seconds of driver input, steering assist is capped around 63 km/h in turns, and Summon is limited to a 6-meter range.
It depends on the country. The Netherlands' RDW granted the first EU type approval for FSD Supervised in April 2026, and Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Estonia have since recognized it under EU mutual recognition. Germany, France, Italy and most other EU states are still pending, and a bloc-wide vote is expected around October 2026. The UK is not an EU member, so it isn't covered by mutual recognition, and FSD Supervised is not approved there.
Basic Autopilot (highway lane keeping and adaptive cruise) works in both countries. FSD Supervised is not approved, both follow R79-style rules with no category for continuous automated steering, though Japan has signaled a possible 2026 approval pathway tied to a UNECE ruling.
No. The hardware is the same worldwide, but which features are software-enabled depends on local type-approval regulations. The US, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania and Estonia currently allow the full range including FSD Supervised; most of the rest of the EU, plus the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Japan and South Korea, cap Enhanced Autopilot and don't yet allow FSD; China allows basic Autopilot but restricts FSD.
Yes, everywhere. Autopilot and FSD Supervised are Level 2 driver-assistance systems. Regardless of country, the human driver is legally required to stay attentive and is responsible for the vehicle at all times.
