Belgium approves Tesla's Full Self-Driving on public roads

Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology has received approval for use on public roads in Belgium. The decision comes after Flemish Minister for Mobility Annick De Ridder gave the green light for Flemish and Belgian roads. This marks a key step for advanced driver assistance systems in Europe, where regulations have often been strict. Four European countries had already approved the software before Belgium. The Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, and Denmark allowed its use on public roads earlier. Now, Belgium’s approval signals growing acceptance across the continent.

The process will next move to technical regulators. They will handle the final paperwork before the software can be officially activated. Germany and Sweden are also advancing their own approvals, with rollout expected soon.

For Tesla, this approval represents a major regulatory milestone. It clears the way for broader adoption of its Full Self-Driving technology in Europe. The approval allows Tesla to expand its Full Self-Driving software to more European roads. Belgium’s decision follows earlier clearances in four other countries. Technical regulators will now finalise the necessary documentation before public use begins.
