Tesla has released its first large-scale Tesla FSD Europe safety report for Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised. Covering five EU countries, this update represents a significant expansion from the preliminary data published in June 2026, which was limited to the Netherlands alone. Both geographic coverage and total mileage have grown substantially — with 65 million kilometers now on record.
Overall Safety: 5.2x Better Than Human Drivers
According to Tesla Europe's official post on X, FSD Supervised logged 65 million kilometers across five approved EU countries — the Netherlands, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, and Belgium — between April 10 and July 26, 2026.
The headline result: FSD Supervised is more than 5.2x safer than manual driving overall, with a significantly lower crash rate than human-driven vehicles.
Highway Performance: 8.5x Safer, Zero Major Crashes
FSD's strongest performance came on structured highway environments.
Over 41.9 million km (≈26 million miles) of highway driving, FSD recorded zero major collisions — achieving a safety rate 8.5x better than human drivers.
For context, human drivers logged 429.3 million km on highways during the same period and recorded 88 crashes.
Urban & Mixed Roads: 2.8x Safer
On more complex, non-highway roads, FSD covered 23.8 million km (≈14.8 million miles) and recorded 6 collisions — 2.8x safer than manual driving.
Human drivers on the same road types logged 514.5 million km with 368 crashes during the same period.

Smoother Driving Too — Not Just Safer
Beyond crash data, FSD also outperformed human drivers across every driving quality metric:
Automatic Emergency Braking triggered 13.4x less frequently
Hard acceleration events reduced by 9.2x
Hard braking reduced by 7.1x
Sharp turns / aggressive steering reduced by 7.6x
These numbers suggest FSD isn't just avoiding crashes — it's driving in a consistently smoother, more predictable style than the average human.
Europe and North America Tell the Same Story
Despite differences in road layouts and traffic laws, the European data aligns closely with Tesla's historical North American figures.

2.2M miles (≈3.5M km) |
USA (minor crashes) |

The consistency across two very different driving environments strengthens the credibility of FSD's safety claims.
European Rollout: Hardware Limits and Regulatory Hurdles
Tesla's European FSD deployment follows a country-by-country approval process. Each market receives a localized version based on v14, with UI adjustments and feature modifications tailored to local traffic laws.
Current hardware requirement: FSD Supervised in Europe is limited to vehicles equipped with Hardware 4 (HW4 / AI4).
Earlier this month, Tesla began rolling out FSD v14 Lite to older HW3 vehicles in the U.S. and confirmed international expansion plans — but no timeline has been announced for European HW3 compatibility.
On the regulatory front, EU-wide expansion is still in progress:
The European Commission is scheduled to vote on related regulations in October 2026
France recently rejected FSD approval citing safety concerns
Sweden has also expressed opposition
With 65 million kilometers of real-world driving now on record, Tesla has added substantial evidence to support broader FSD deployment across Europe. The next milestone depends less on technology than on regulatory approval.
