- Croatia's decision follows a pattern of individual European countries approving the system throughout 2026.
- The Dutch vehicle authority RDW issued a provisional type approval in April 2026, which has served as a regulatory template for other EU member states.

Tesla's supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system has received regulatory approval in Croatia, paving the way for a nationwide rollout. The announcement on Tuesday marks another step in Tesla's strategy of securing country-by-country approvals across Europe for its advanced driver-assistance technology.
Croatia's decision, confirmed by Tesla Europe on September 29, 2026, aligns with a growing list of European nations that have granted similar permissions throughout the year. This rapid succession of approvals, particularly in May and September 2026, has accelerated the expansion of FSD Supervised. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW's provisional type approval in April 2026 has served as a key regulatory template for other EU member states.
FSD Supervised, as approved in these markets, is classified as an SAE Level 2 system. This means it can manage steering, acceleration, and braking under various conditions but mandates that the driver remain fully attentive and prepared to intervene at all times. Tesla's system employs cameras and sensors to monitor driver attention.
While the rollout progresses on a national basis, a unified EU-wide approval for FSD Supervised is still pending. The Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles (TCMV) is reviewing the application, with a decision potentially delayed into early 2027. Such an overarching approval would streamline Tesla's expansion efforts across the entire bloc. In markets where FSD Supervised has launched, the outright purchase option has been discontinued, with a subscription model at €99 per month being the typical access point, though specific pricing for Croatia is yet to be confirmed.
