AMSTERDAM, July 23 (Reuters) - France opposes the use of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance software in its current form on ‌roads in the European Union due to safety concerns, its ‌transportation minister said. The French stance on the FSD software is the first public rejection ​by an EU government of a Dutch-led initiative to approve the technology for use throughout Europe. Tesla's FSD is a ​driver assistance system that can ‌accelerate, brake, and steer a car, while its human driver remains ready to intervene. FSD ​software is seen as a selling point and revenue-generator ‌for Tesla, whose European registrations ​are gradually recovering following ​a slump last year. Responding to Tabarot's remarks in a statement on X, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote that "delaying the approval of ​FSD in France ‌will cost lives".
