- Tesla's "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" exceeded the speed limit in 55% of 30 km/h segments tested across Brussels zones
- The system averaged 44 km/h where the legal limit is 30 km/h — roughly 47% over the posted speed
- Belgian road safety group conducted the street-level testing in Brussels 30 km/h zones
- EU member states are scheduled to vote on approving FSD across the entire bloc less than two weeks after the findings were released
Why it matters: With EU member states set to vote on bloc-wide FSD approval in under two weeks, the 55% speeding rate gives regulators concrete street-level data to weigh against Tesla's supervised-safety pitch. If approved despite these results, it establishes a precedent that a system explicitly requiring human oversight can clear EU-wide authorization while routinely breaking posted speed limits.
