Tesla's push for Full Self-Driving (FSD) in Spain is racing forward—with the potential to transform daily driving but also raising uneasy questions about safety, oversight, and real-world risks. Spain has emerged as a leading testbed for the company's FSD (Supervised) programme, under a legal framework designed to accelerate automated-vehicle technology across the country.
Under the new Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) scheme, 19 vehicles from Tesla have received approval to roam national roads, with testing open to any route nationwide. The approved period runs from 27 November 2025 to 26 November 2027, signalling a long-term commitment to building real-world data in Spanish traffic conditions. Supporters say this could mark a turning point—giving commuters smoother, safer journeys and reducing human error on busy roads. But critics worry the rapid rollout leaves too many questions unanswered about oversight and public safety.
