Tesla FSD now accessible to nearly 25% of the global population
Tesla has expanded access to its supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system to nearly 25% of the world’s population following regulatory approval in Belgium. Starting in the US in 2020, the rollout has extended to Canada, Mexico, limited China, Australia, several European countries, and other regions, with recent approvals in Europe where five countries have official authorization. In China, expansion has been slow due to data regulations, but FSD version 14 may broaden access under a new local name. Tesla is also pursuing approvals in other markets, including Japan.
- FSD approved in countries covering nearly 25% of global population
- China accounts for over 17% of global access, though limited
- Five European countries approved FSD between April and June 2026
🔎 Why it matters: FSD version 14 and approvals in Belgium and other European countries significantly expand the global user base.
📈 Upside: Regulatory expansion enables more drivers to access supervised FSD across multiple continents.
📉 Risk: Regulatory and data restrictions in China may limit full adoption of the system.
