Belgium's Flanders Authorizes Tesla Self-Driving Test on One Vehicle

Belgium’s Flanders region has authorized Tesla to test its supervised self-driving software on one vehicle across Belgian territory, with trials covering about 5,000 km set to begin once the car obtains a license plate and insurance, potentially within days. This follows a provisional approval from the Dutch regulator last month, aiming to assess differences in Belgian infrastructure and rules. Positive results could accelerate a provisional European type approval, broadening Tesla’s autonomous driving in Europe and acting as a medium-term positive for TSLA shares, though immediate market impact remains modest due to the trial's limited scope.
