Tesla posted a short video this week showing FSD Supervised stepping in to avoid a potential collision on the streets of Copenhagen — a real-world demonstration of the system operating in dense European urban traffic. It's a timely clip: Denmark only received provisional regulatory approval for FSD Supervised on June 10, 2026, making it the fourth European country to authorize the system after the Netherlands, Lithuania, and Estonia.
The Danish approval was granted by the Road Safety and Transport Agency (Færdselsstyrelsen), building on the provisional framework established by Dutch authorities. Tesla's Netherlands safety data gives some context for what that approval is based on: the company recorded just three collisions across 7.0 million km of non-highway driving with FSD Supervised active, and zero collisions over 16.6 million km on highways — figures Tesla says make the system 1.6 times safer than manual driving on equivalent roads.
Copenhagen hasn't been an entirely smooth debut, though. A promotional video Tesla Europe released in early June — celebrating the Danish approval and shared by Elon Musk — drew scrutiny from Danish newspaper Politiken, which identified several apparent traffic law violations in the footage, including driving in a bus-only lane and entering a street closed to car traffic. Tesla declined to comment at the time. The new collision-avoidance clip appears to be a separate piece of footage, framing a different angle: the system's reactive safety performance rather than its navigation capability.
FSD Supervised remains an SAE Level 2 system everywhere it operates, meaning the driver stays legally responsible and must be ready to intervene at any moment. That legal framing matters in Europe, where regulators have been cautious about how driver-assistance systems are marketed and deployed. Whether clips like this one help build public confidence — or invite the same level of scrutiny as the June promotional video — will likely shape how quickly Tesla expands FSD access across the continent.
