A German television reporter tested Tesla's Full Self-Driving Supervised version 14 in rural areas of Germany and described its performance as perfect and safe, even in bad weather. The test took place in the Eifel region amid limited public transport options. The reporter suggested nationwide rollout could transform mobility.
In a recent test highlighted by Tesla commentator Sawyer Merritt, a German TV reporter evaluated Tesla's FSD (Supervised) V14 while navigating rural Germany, where public transportation is sparse. The reporter, who conducted the trial in the Eifel region's challenging weather, reported being genuinely surprised by the system's capabilities. It handled situations perfectly and safely, reacting at least as well as a human driver—and often better, according to the account shared on March 28. > I was genuinely impressed. In the situations where we experienced the system, it worked perfectly and safely. I hadn't expected that. Even in the bad weather conditions in the Eifel region. In many cases, it reacted at least as well as a human driver, if not better. The reporter anticipates significant changes if regulators permit Tesla to deploy FSD nationwide. This comes as Tesla continues to expand its autonomous driving technology beyond the United States, facing varying regulatory hurdles in Europe. No official confirmation from Tesla on German deployment plans was available in the shared report.
