Tesla (TSLA) is currently undergoing testing of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system on public roads in France, with a review expected to conclude by mid-to-late September. An EU-wide approval vote could occur as early as October 6, which is significant as it may lead to increased sales and revenue from existing vehicles in Europe.
The potential approval of FSD could allow Tesla to activate the feature through software updates, generating high-margin revenue without the need for additional vehicle production. This is particularly important as automotive margins face pressure, making software revenue a more attractive option than reducing vehicle prices.
France's shift from opposition to testing indicates a more favorable stance towards FSD, which is crucial for EU approval that requires support from at least 15 member states. Tesla's FSD Supervised has shown a significant reduction in collisions compared to manually driven vehicles, suggesting its potential as a driver-assistance system. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
