Finland provisionally approves Tesla driving system after changes
The national authorization follows changes to the system's name and speed controls, but could be invalidated by an EU-level rejection.
Finland authorized provisional use of Tesla's Assisted Driving system (TAD) on November 11 after the automaker modified the technology. The decision permits its use on Finnish roads while approval across the European Union remains pending.
Transport regulator Traficom said Tesla had dropped the name “Full Self-Driving” and made speed-control settings stricter. Critics had said the previous settings encouraged speeding. The system can control steering, acceleration and braking, but requires driver supervision.
Nearly a dozen countries have issued provisional authorizations, among them Belgium and Slovakia. None of the EU's largest member states has yet backed the technology. Bloc-wide approval requires a qualified majority of member states; an EU rejection would void the national permissions.
Traficom said its authorization does not bind Finland's position in the EU vote, which it expects during the winter. December is the next scheduled meeting where a vote could occur.
Traficom's Jukka Juhola said the authority wanted drivers to try the system before winter conditions deteriorate. Finland has 8,000-9,000 compatible Teslas, representing around 0.3% of its car fleet. Juhola said that small number helped the authority proceed. Finland had indicated in June that it could act before an EU decision.
