Tesla presented self-published Full Self-Driving safety statistics to regulators in Sweden and the Netherlands that independent traffic-safety researchers say are misleading. The headline claim — that FSD is up to ten times safer than a human driver — relies on invalid comparisons: one figure assumes every US vehicle is replaced by an FSD Tesla, and another compares only Tesla's most severe airbag-deploying crashes against broad crash statistics that include minor incidents. The European Transport Safety Council has flagged the data as unreliable. European regulators had already raised concerns about FSD's speeding behavior, icy-road performance, and the misleading nature of the 'Full Self-Driving' name. The Netherlands, as the lead EU body assessing FSD, is a critical gatekeeper, and Tesla has not retracted the disputed figures.
