France follows EU-wide rules; no national exemption announced

France has not announced any national exemptions that would permit the use of FSD (Supervised) on public roads, and is aligning itself with the pan-European framework for recognising type approval. In other words, the country expects access for such systems to be determined through harmonised EU procedures rather than by a separate national decision.

For owners in France this means that, as of now, there is no dedicated national clearance that would open the way to normal use of the system. The future availability of FSD (Supervised) in France will depend on whether the country recognises a European type approval and on how far the EU-wide harmonisation of the rules progresses.
