🚨UN R157, UN R171 & the new ADS Regulations – What it means for Tesla & FSD in Europe 🚨 As you know, I’ve been digging into the UNECE regulatory framework for automated driving and I promised to do a post about the most important regulations and regulatory efforts. Here they are and how they relate to @Tesla Autopilot & FSD (Supervised & Unsupervised). UN R171 (DCAS) was designed for the introduction of FSD Supervised and to a certain extent allows hands-free Level 2 driving, but with strict driver monitoring and some additional concerns via the 01 series amendment. UN R157 (ALKS) opens the door for Level 3 hands-off driving, but only in limited conditions. The upcoming ADS regulation? That’s the real game-changer as IMO it will set the global rulebook for autonomous vehicles. The EU is a contracting party to this so they will need to implement this regulation. But here’s where things got interesting: ✔ The UK & Netherlands have pushed back on the latest "01 series" updates to UN R171 & UN R157, raising concerns over the safety validation of system-initiated maneuvers (SIM)—especially lane changes at higher speeds. (I reported about this earlier and also reflected in the article published by @NotATeslaApp) I will make a specific post just about this one.. Stay tuned ✔ Regulators now question whether current safeguards are enough to prevent unintended disengagements and override failures. ✔ This could mean stricter requirements for Tesla’s FSD Supervised and new barriers for any potential Level 3 rollout in Europe. So where does Tesla’s FSD Supervised & Unsupervised fit in? Can it legally operate hands-free in Europe? And what regulatory hurdles stand in the way of a true FSD Unsupervised robotaxi network? I break it all down here: what’s allowed, what’s coming, and what Tesla will have to do to comply. 👇 Read the full post and let me know what you think. Is Tesla ahead of regulations or will these rules slow them down?
