Tesla FSD Gets Reduced Speed Offset & More Changes in Europe

Tesla's FSD (Supervised), now called Tesla Assisted Driving (TAD), received updates in Europe, including a reduced speed offset cap from +50% to +10%. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW approved these changes, which align with Germany's requirements for EU-wide approval. Tesla needs support from at least 15 EU member states representing 65% of the population for bloc-wide approval, with Germany and Italy backing it.
