In Belgium, an independent test has uncovered concerning behavior from Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which is designed to assist with driving tasks. The findings show that the system exceeded the speed limit in more than half of the tested 30 km/h zones, often displaying a misleading 50 km/h speed limit to the driver instead of the actual 30 km/h. The report was released at a critical time, as the European Union may decide on October 6 whether to approve the FSD system for use across the continent. The test was conducted by Johanna.be, a Belgian non-profit organization focused on pedestrian and cyclist safety. Between July 20 and 22, they tested the FSD system on Brussels streets, covering around 400 kilometers. The results, submitted to the Flemish ministry of Mobility and the Dutch regulator RDW, suggest that the system needs to be re-evaluated. According to RTBF, the Tesla vehicles exceeded the legal speed limit in 55 percent of the 30 km/h zones tested, with an average speed of 44 km/h in those instances. The system even drove faster when traffic was light, raising further concerns. The test also revealed that the cameras correctly recognized the 30 km/h speed limit signs, but the driver’s screen falsely displayed 50 km/h, misleading the person who was supposed to monitor the system. In some cases, the system attempted to overtake cyclists in bike lanes, which is illegal in Belgium. Despite these issues, the report acknowledges that the FSD system generally behaves cautiously around pedestrians and cyclists, often stopping or yielding before they are required to. The FSD system’s approval status remains uncertain across Europe. France is waiting for the October 6 decision to determine whether it will allow the system. Belgium granted permission in June after a 5,000 km testing campaign, while Sweden and other countries have already voiced concerns about the system’s speed-related performance. Paris is also waiting for the European decision, and this new report adds another layer of scrutiny to the ongoing debate over autonomous driving technology.
