On July 29, Tesla released data via its official European account showing that over the past four months, its supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has accumulated more than 52 million kilometers of driving across five EU countries—Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium—with overall safety performance exceeding that of human-driven vehicles by a factor of 5.2. The total mileage covered in this dataset reached 65 million kilometers. On highways, FSD logged 41.9 million kilometers without any serious collisions, demonstrating safety levels 8.5 times higher than those of human-driven vehicles equipped with active safety features. On non-highway roads, FSD drove 23.8 million kilometers and was involved in six collisions, achieving approximately 2.8 times the safety level of human-driven vehicles. Vehicles equipped with FSD significantly outperformed human-driven vehicles across multiple driving behavior metrics: automatic emergency braking interventions were reduced to 1/13.4, hard acceleration events dropped to 1/9.2, hard braking incidents fell to 1/7.1, and sharp evasive steering maneuvers decreased to 1/7.6. This trend aligns with data from North America. U.S. figures show that FSD-equipped vehicles experience one serious collision per approximately 8.8 million kilometers driven, compared to about 3.5 million kilometers for human-driven vehicles. For minor collisions, FSD vehicles average one incident per roughly 2.6 million kilometers, versus about 1.2 million kilometers for human-driven vehicles. Currently, only vehicles equipped with Hardware 4 (HW4/AI4) are authorized to operate FSD in the five approved European countries. Although Tesla has begun rolling out the FSD v14 Lite beta to HW3 vehicles in the U.S., it has not yet announced a timeline for enabling FSD on HW3 vehicles in Europe. Tesla is actively seeking unified EU-wide approval for FSD and hopes to gain additional support ahead of a related European Commission vote expected in October. However, France has already declined to approve FSD due to safety concerns, and Sweden has expressed similar reservations. As of the end of Q2, Tesla reported over 1.48 million global FSD subscribers. In the U.S., early versions of FSD v15 are already being tested on Robotaxi vehicles.
