Czech Republic Approves Tesla FSD, Reversing Safety Concerns
TSLA sits 27% above its 52-week low of $297.38 on light trading volume (0.3× avg).
Summary
The Czech Republic provisionally approved Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, reversing earlier skepticism over speed-limit compliance and driver oversight. The ministry cited experience from other countries, additional European data, and safeguards as key factors. Tesla confirmed rollout will begin soon. This follows the Dutch regulator's provisional approval in April and adds to a growing list of European countries accepting FSD. The approval expands Tesla's addressable market for FSD in Europe and signals regulatory momentum, though the provisional nature and ongoing safety scrutiny remain risks.
