Tesla 'FSD' sped in 55% of Brussels 30 km/h zones ahead of EU vote

2 hours ago
  • Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving (Supervised)' exceeded the 30 km/h speed limit in 55% of tested segments in Brussels, averaging 44 km/h.
  • EU member states are set to vote on approving FSD across the bloc on October 6, with speeding being a key concern flagged by Sweden, France, and others.
  • The Belgian road safety group Johanna.be found that FSD often displayed the wrong speed limit, showing 50 km/h in most 30 km/h zones.
  • FSD also attempted to overtake cyclists in 'cycle streets' where this is illegal under Belgian traffic rules.
  • The Flemish government approved FSD in June, stating drivers remain 100% responsible, but critics argue the system's speeding issues undermine safety.
