Tesla Assisted Driving clears Finland

Finland’s decision is a meaningful regulatory beachhead, but calling this “self-driving” remains misleading.

• –Tesla renamed FSD (Supervised) to Tesla Assisted Driving to clarify that drivers remain responsible.
• –Speed-control settings were tightened, including resetting speed deviations after restart.
• –Snow, slush, icy roads, and obstructed cameras make Finnish winter conditions a serious real-world test.
• –National approval does not guarantee EU-wide authorization; an EU rejection could invalidate existing approvals.
• –The rollout shows how local exemptions and human-oversight rules may accelerate AI mobility deployments before bloc-wide regulation.
