FSD Supervised now approved in Denmark \ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddf0<\/p>\n
Rollout will begin soon pic.twitter.com\/Xpxwcme10k<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa (@teslaeurope) June 9, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n Recognizing the Dutch Framework<\/p>\n The regional expansion follows a multi-stage approval mechanism that is reshaping how automated vehicle software is validated across the European Union. According to an official press release from the Danish Road Traffic Authority (F\u00e6rdselsstyrelsen)<\/a>, the regulatory agency has accepted a landmark type approval originally issued by the Netherlands\u2019 RDW back in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n Because a common EU-wide type approval from the European Commission is still pending, member nations must choose whether to individually recognize the framework on a country-by-country basis. By actively accepting the Dutch package, Denmark has officially cleared the FSD (Supervised) for public roads.<\/p>\n “After a thorough review and assessment of the technical documentation, the Danish Road Traffic Authority agrees with the RDW’s assessment that the system will contribute positively to road safety by assisting the driver while driving,\u201d the agency said, clarifying the decision by outlining its technical review process. \u201cThe Danish Road Traffic Authority therefore accepts the provisional type approval of FSD Supervised.”<\/p>\n Not a Tesla App<\/p>\n However, officials noted that “the system has yet to be approved by the EU Commission, and therefore the approval is only provisional.” If the broader European Commission rejects the software down the road, the initial Dutch type approval will become invalid after six months, causing individual country permits to lapse.<\/p>\n FSD\u2019s Growing Global Expansion<\/p>\n Denmark’s decision marks another major milestone, arriving less than two weeks after FSD (Supervised) was approved in Estonia<\/a>. It is the fourth country in the European Union to greenlight the software since the Netherlands\u2019 approval opened the floodgates.<\/p>\n To see just how fast this map is evolving, you can check our full breakdown of Tesla’s FSD expansion history<\/a>. This latest update means the software is approved for use across twelve global territories, covering the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, and now Denmark.<\/p>\n A Unique European Rollout<\/p>\n Like its neighboring European territories, the Danish FSD rollout will operate under unique conditions. The software will only be available to Hardware 4 (AI4\/HW4) vehicles \u2014 at least for now<\/a> \u2014 and utilizes a custom European variant of the main FSD v14 software branch<\/a> with unique UI tweaks and features built specifically to comply with localized European traffic laws.<\/p>\n Not a Tesla App<\/p>\n With a growing list of member states approving FSD (Supervised) independently, a major tipping point is approaching. During a recent presentation, Tesla AI chief Ashok Elluswamy shared a detailed map of countries pending FSD approval<\/a>, indicating that the entirety of the EU is tracking toward an official rollout.<\/p>\n Other neighboring nations are moving quickly to keep up. Belgium is currently fast-tracking its local review process<\/a> and is expected to be among the next countries to clear the system. Meanwhile, Sweden has expanded public FSD testing on its roads<\/a>, and there\u2019s been similar regulatory progress in the remaining Baltic country of Latvia. As more local agencies sign off, pressure will continue to mount on the European Commission to issue a blanket type approval for the entire trading bloc.<\/p>\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/fsd_supervised-europe.jpg\")
