The possibility of deploying self-driving cars in Flanders is being seriously considered. The Flemish Mobility Service is actively assessing Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology, which has already been tested in the Netherlands. The Flemish Minister for Mobility, Annick De Ridder, has requested relevant documentation from Tesla to assess the feasibility and safety of deploying these vehicles in Flanders, according to a report by Gazet van Antwerpen.
No definitive timeline yet
While the assessment process is ongoing, no definitive timeline for a decision has yet been announced. A spokesperson for the Flemish Department of Mobility confirmed the evaluation, but did not provide specific dates.
It is important to note that even with Tesla’s autonomous technology, drivers must still be present and alert behind the wheel, ready to take over control at any moment.

The potential approval of self-driving cars in Flanders is generating both enthusiasm and concern about safety and regulatory frameworks.
