Tesla’s FSD Supervised Spotted Driving Through London As UK Rollout Edges Closer

Comments

Tesla has shared fresh footage of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised system operating on the streets of London, showcasing its progress in right-hand-drive (RHD) markets. The release follows the company’s Q2 earnings call last week, where a brief image hinted at FSD testing in the UK, but without any accompanying detail.

The new 2.5-minute video, posted on Tesla Europe’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, captures a Tesla Model 3 navigating a supervised FSD route across key parts of London. The video confirms that Tesla is continuing to test and refine its autonomous driving technology ahead of official approval.

“Full drive through London, UK. FSD Supervised is pending regulatory approval,” Tesla stated in the video caption.

FSD Supervised in Right-Hand-Drive Markets

This isn’t the first time Tesla has tested its supervised FSD system in an RHD setting. In recent months, similar trials have taken place in Australia:

  • Melbourne: Tesla shared a video in May of a Model 3 operating on local roads without driver input.
  • Sydney: Earlier this month, a follow-up video showed the system navigating the Harbour City with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge visible during the drive.

Tesla Australia’s Country Director, Thom Drew, also made a significant announcement following the Sydney video. In a LinkedIn post, he confirmed that there are no regulatory hurdles preventing the rollout of FSD Supervised in Australia or New Zealand.

The initial phase of rollout will focus on vehicles equipped with Hardware 4 (HW4), before expanding to more Tesla models over time.
