Tesla FSD Approved in Latvia, Becoming the 10th EU Member State to Clear the System

On October 26, 2026, Tesla announced on a social platform that Latvia had approved the use of its full self-driving system (FSD) in the country. According to a report carried by Sina Finance, Latvia thereby became the tenth EU member state to approve the system.

On October 27, IT Home reported that Tesla's European division announced on X that Latvia had formally approved Tesla FSD (Supervised) for use on the country's roads, with the relevant features to be rolled out soon. According to the report, Latvia became the tenth EU member state to independently approve the system and the 18th country worldwide. It noted that the two other Baltic neighbors, Lithuania and Estonia, had approved FSD as early as May of this year, and that Latvia completed its approval less than two weeks after Slovakia became the ninth European country to do so. The report added that, to advance approval across the whole of the EU, Tesla has renamed FSD in Europe as Tesla Assisted Driving, and that the ten EU countries that have independently approved FSD for use on public roads are the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Belgium, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia and Latvia. Most of these approvals were issued through national exemption mechanisms, and each country recognizes the regulatory framework first established by Dutch regulators. The reports give no exact rollout date for the features in Latvia.
