Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) driver assistance software is now available in Lithuania, the second European country to approve its use.
The availability advances Tesla's bid to position itself as an AI and robotics company and matters to CEO Elon Musk's $1 trillion pay package, which requires reaching "10 million active FSD subscriptions" by 2035, and the company said during its first-quarter earnings call in April that it has nearly 1.3 million paying FSD customers globally.
FSD (Supervised) launched in beta in late 2020 and remains an advanced driver-assistance system that requires active driver supervision while handling steering, lane changes and parking.
Tesla moved access from a one-time purchase to a monthly subscription announced in January, currently priced at $99.
The European rollout began after Dutch regulator RDW approved FSD last month, regulatory scrutiny has slowed deployment compared with the United States, and RDW's push for EU-wide acceptance could speed adoption as a number of other countries appear to be in the queue.
