Tesla FSD renamed Tesla Assisted Driving in Europe, speed margin cut to 10%
The Netherlands' vehicle regulator, the RDW, said on Nov. 3 that it approved changes to Tesla's FSD Supervised driver-assistance system in Europe. The system is now called Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD) on the in-car display, in the manual and in other driver information, on cars with Hardware 4 or later.
The bigger change is speed. Drivers could let the system go up to 50% over the posted limit when needed for safety and traffic flow; that margin is now capped at 10%, and it resets to 0% every time the car starts. The RDW says the rename doesn't change what the system does: it's still driver assistance, and the driver is still responsible.
EU-wide approval is still pending at the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles. Electrek reports a vote is expected in December at the earliest, and that the new limits match conditions Germany set in October.
