The recommendation appeared in an April communication from the Swedish Transport Administration to the EU Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles.

Sweden transport officials have pressed the European Union to withhold approval of Tesla Full Self-Driving Supervised software unless the company removes the function allowing vehicles to exceed speed limits, according to Reuters.

The communication was sent in April by the Swedish Transport Administration to the EU Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles and later obtained by the news outlet.

The committee is scheduled to convene on 30 June before a broader EU decision.

Full Self-Driving Supervised permits vehicles to navigate city streets and highways with human oversight and holds approval in multiple European nations; EU-wide acceptance would support Tesla sales amid rising rivalry from Chinese electric vehicle producers.

The Speed Offset capability allows drivers to establish a tolerance for exceeding posted limits.

Tesla documentation states operators must maintain a safe speed according to traffic and road conditions instead of depending on the feature.

The Swedish Transport Administration communication noted that permitting automated systems to routinely surpass legal speed limits could weaken the regulatory structure and the anticipated safety gains from vehicle automation.

It further stated that otherwise the Swedish Transport Administration advises the committee to oppose the proposed rollout.

A spokesperson confirmed the stance has stayed consistent since April and matches the position of the Swedish Transport Agency.

Records indicate the agency expressed concerns to Tesla and the Dutch authority RDW including during a session on 4 June.

RDW granted provisional approval in April and supports wider introduction while the agency continues its review.

The system relies on cameras and mapping information to identify speed limits.

In the United States five driving modes exist ranging from conservative to highly assertive but these are unavailable in Europe where Contextual Max Speed and Speed Offset are offered instead.

Finland and Norway have voiced similar reservations while Lithuania Estonia Denmark and Belgium have granted approval after the Netherlands.

An Estonian representative mentioned speed concerns yet approved the system because drivers retain responsibility with the national vote still pending.

Denmark road officials noted that drivers hold complete accountability for speed compliance during use.

EU approval requires a qualified majority of 15 out of 27 member states representing at least 65 percent of the population.

Denmark officials added that rejection would cause the Dutch provisional approval to expire after six months and end related national clearances.
