Tesla replacing a $10 rain sensor with no rain sensor and then being perpetually unable to make it work 8 years later is hilarious to me. Just use the one you can find on a $20,000 Corolla.

🚨 Wichtiger regulatorischer Fortschritt für Tesla FSD in Europa – 1. Juni 2026 🇪🇺

Heute fand die 53. Sitzung der MVWG-ACV (Automated and Connected Vehicles Subgroup der Motor Vehicles Working Group) der EU-Kommission statt. Die niederländische Zulassungsbehörde RDW hat dort ein wegweisendes Rahmenwerk (Framework) für die Zulassung von End-to-End-KI-Fahrsystemen vorgestellt – genau wie Tesla FSD (Supervised).

Was genau passiert ist:

• Die RDW hat nicht nur über das konkrete Tesla-Case gesprochen, sondern ein grundsätzliches neues Bewertungs- und Zulassungs-Framework präsentiert.

• Kernproblem: Die klassischen UNECE-Regulierungen und EU-Normen sind für reine KI-basierte, datengetriebene Systeme („AI-native“) nicht optimal ausgelegt. Deshalb schlägt die RDW vor, Ausnahmen nach Artikel 39 der Verordnung 2018/858 gezielter zu nutzen und ein modernes, auf KI zugeschnittenes Prüfverfahren einzuführen.

• Das geht weit über die bisherige Diskussion hinaus: Es ist ein Vorschlag für einen Paradigmenwechsel hin zu moderner, lernender KI im Straßenverkehr.

Zum Vergleich: was war Anfang Mai?

Am 5. Mai gab es beim TCMV-Meeting (Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles) noch ein Update zur nationalen Typgenehmigung der Niederlande vom 10. April 2026. Das war konkret auf Tesla FSD fokussiert und diente der Information der Mitgliedstaaten. Heute war es breiter, technischer und zukunftsorientierter.

Wo stehen wir jetzt?

• FSD (Supervised) ist bereits in den Niederlanden, Litauen und Estland aktiv (über gegenseitige Anerkennung).

• Die heutige Präsentation legt den Grundstein für eine harmonisiertere EU-weite Herangehensweise.

• Nächste Schritte: Weitere TCMV-Sitzungen (vermutlich Ende Juni) mit vertiefter Diskussion. Eine formelle Abstimmung könnte später 2026 kommen.

Das ist kein fertiger EU-Rollout über Nacht – aber ein klarer regulatorischer Fortschritt und ein starkes Signal, dass Europa die Zukunft der KI-gestützten Fahrsysteme ernst nimmt und pragmatische Lösungen sucht.

Tesla-Fans in Europa: Der Zug rollt weiter. Supervised, sicher und schrittweise – aber mit echten Fortschritten. 🇳🇱➡️🇪🇺

@aikisteve @Tesla For Europe 99€ does not make sense indeed. They would earn more money and get more miles at 49€.

I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well.

Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS.

I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind.

I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

This just really isn't a great argument. The general public are only just at the point now where they see EV's as a great purchase. Sure you pay a little more for the car, but it's worth it because you save on fuel and maintenance and people see that now.

Saying to people "Ok great, now if you just gave up all those savings, you could have FSD." is not the play.

I bought FSD outright in 2019 with the car. It was AU $7,800. That seemed to me like a hell of a lot, but being able to roll it into the car finance made it doable. Once the car is paid off, I can use it as much as I want for free. Having taken advantage of the free transfer once already, I'm now transferring it again to my Model YL. To me, it's felt like a good value purchase.

Now if I was doing it all over again today with a $150/month subscription, I can't roll it into my finance and I'll never pay it off. It's just $150/month extra on top of all my other bills and expenses that I already struggle to pay.

If I didn't already own FSD, I would not subscribe today. I simply wouldn't be able to justify it, or afford it. And with FSD out of the equation, there's other EVs that stack up well to Tesla for significantly lower prices.

When I show people my car, tell them how much it cost and show them how it can drive itself, they're like "Oh! 😯". I then tell them that if you want FSD now you have to pay $150/month on top of the car purchase. Their reaction changes to "Oh... 😐"

That pretty much sums up the point of this post. I'm not saying FSD should be free, but current prices do not attract buyers. The value proposition isn't there.

Europe will not become a serious power until every member state accepts one reality:

Integration creates trade-offs.

Connecting Iberia properly to the rest of Europe would strengthen Europe’s energy security — but it could also weaken France’s advantage

The EU-Mercosur deal would cover 700M+ people and boost EU exports in cars, machinery, chemicals, wine and services — but it also pressures farmers in countries like Poland and Ireland.

Capital Markets Union could mobilise part of Europe’s €10T in household bank deposits into companies, infrastructure and industry — but it would also pressure weaker national financial systems.

Joint defence procurement could reduce waste in a Europe spending almost €400B on defence in 2025 — but it means less national control over contracts.

Most common policies benefit the majority. Some benefit export-led economies. Others benefit agricultural economies, energy gateways, financial centres or industrial regions.

That is normal. It happens in the United States. It happens in China. Large unions always distribute gains unevenly across regions.

But the Union is what creates the scale.

Europe cannot demand the benefits of continental power while refusing the costs of integration.

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

Over 53% of German exports and 51% of German imports are with the EU27.

Germany is also the top export destination for 16 of the other 26 EU member states.

The EU-Mercosur agreement is a perfect example. It removes major tariffs on European cars, car parts, machinery, chemicals and pharmaceuticals — sectors where Germany is one of Europe’s biggest winners.

Germany alone would never negotiate trade access with the same leverage as the European Union.

Not with Mercosur.
Not with the United States.
Not with China.
Not with India.
Not with the Gulf.
Not with global supply chains.

AfD sells the illusion of sovereignty. But for Germany, real sovereignty is European scale.

Without the EU, Germany is just a mid-sized country with an ageing population, high energy costs and an export model dependent on foreign markets.

Inside the EU, Germany is the industrial core of one of the largest economic blocs on earth.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
