Key Takeaways

  • Slovakia becomes one of the few EU countries to permit Tesla’s FSD (Supervised) system, following the Dutch RDW’s April 2026 approval (mindop.sk).
  • The system remains supervised driver‑assistance—drivers must stay alert and in control; it is not full autonomy (mindop.sk).
  • Tesla has rebranded FSD to “Tesla Assisted Driving” in Europe amid regulatory pressure over the name “Full Self‑Driving” being misleading (investing.com).
