Tesla receives Belgium approval for Full Self-Driving
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been granted authorization to deploy its Full Self-Driving driver assistance software throughout Belgium. The approval was announced on Wednesday by Annick De Ridder, the transport minister for the Flanders region, who posted on X that she had signed the official document and shared an image of the signed approval. De Ridder noted that the authorization follows a series of successful tests conducted by Tesla in Belgium. Under Belgian law, an approval issued by any of the three regional authorities—Flanders, Wallonia, or Brussels—applies uniformly across the entire nation, meaning the Flanders‑issued approval is valid for all Belgian territories. With this decision, Belgium becomes the third European Union member state to authorize Tesla’s Full Self-Driving technology, joining the Netherlands and Lithuania, which received similar approvals earlier.
