According to Sawyer Merritt, the rollout of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised in Europe is waiting on approval from local European governments, despite Tesla's active efforts to expedite the process (source: Sawyer Merritt, x.com/Rustavi/status/1984354896817082417). The decision to allow FSD Supervised testing and public use in Europe has significant implications for AI-driven automotive technology adoption. Fast-tracking regulatory approval could accelerate the integration of autonomous vehicle AI, opening substantial business opportunities for automotive AI providers and related technology partners. Regulatory delays may slow market penetration and impact lives, underscoring the importance of public and governmental engagement for AI-powered mobility solutions (source: Sawyer Merritt, twitter.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1984760026343375269).
