France's Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said on July 22, 2026 that Tesla's "Full Self-Driving" (Supervised) will not be authorized in France "as it currently stands."
He cited two safety problems: the system lets drivers speed, and it doesn't keep drivers attentive enough in cities.
Rather than banning FSD outright, France is refusing to rubber-stamp the Netherlands' national approval of the system, instead holding out for a proper EU-wide sign-off.
