Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) rollout across Europe is accelerating, with Denmark becoming the fourth country in the region to approve the advanced driver-assistance system. The approval comes just over a week after Estonia became the third European country to greenlight FSD, highlighting how quickly momentum is building following the Netherlands’ approval earlier this year.
Tesla announced the expansion on Tuesday, saying that FSD has now been approved in Denmark and that the rollout to eligible vehicles will begin soon.
The approval means Denmark joins the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Estonia as the first European Union countries to officially approve Tesla’s driver-assistance software.

Denmark Accepts Dutch Approval Framework
Like several other European countries, Denmark based its decision on the provisional type approval first granted by Dutch regulators in April.
According to documentation published by the Danish Road Traffic Authority, officials conducted their own review of Tesla’s technical documentation before agreeing with the assessment already completed by the Dutch RDW.
“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. The Danish Road Traffic Authority therefore accepts the provisional type approval of FSD Supervised.”
The approval remains provisional because Tesla’s Europe-wide authorization is still being reviewed at the EU level. However, existing regulations allow individual member states to recognize provisional approvals granted by another EU country, creating a pathway for faster deployment.
European FSD Expansion Gaining Speed
Just a few months ago, FSD (Supervised) was unavailable anywhere in Europe. Now, it is available in four countries.
The Netherlands became the first EU country to authorize the system after more than a year of testing and validation. Lithuania followed shortly afterward, with Estonia announcing its approval just over a week ago. Denmark has now become the fourth country to join the growing list.
Meanwhile, Belgium has authorized public road testing, with Tesla already completing the 5,000 km testing requirement, and appears to be moving toward full approval. Meanwhile, Ireland continues discussions with Tesla and regulators over a potential rollout and Italy is also looking to fast-track approval.
As we reported earlier today, Tesla recently revealed that vehicles equipped with FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands accumulated more than 23 million kilometres since its launch, and that the system has already proven to be 3.5 times safer than a human driver.
