Belgium Approves Tesla’s Self-Driving Technology for Public Use

BRUSSELS, June 10 (Reuters) — Belgium has given Tesla permission to deploy its Full Self-Driving supervised driver assistance technology, according to an announcement made Wednesday by Annick De Ridder, the transport minister of Flanders region.

“I just signed the approval,” De Ridder stated in a social media post on X, which included a photograph of the official signed authorization document.

The authorization comes after Tesla completed a successful testing program within the country, according to the minister. Under Belgian law, permits issued by any of the nation’s three regions apply across the entire country.

This makes Belgium the third nation within the European Union to grant such authorization, joining the Netherlands and Lithuania in approving the technology.
