Tesla conducts an autonomous driving test in Madrid around the Retiro Park and Puerta de Alcalá.

Tesla has begun testing its Fully Supervised Self-Driving system in Madrid , after launching the program in several European capitals such as Paris, Rome, and Berlin, with a view to making it available to its customers across Europe in the coming months.

Tesla is currently working with regulatory agencies to obtain approval for this driving mode in Europe, with the goal of implementing it in existing and new vehicles as soon as possible. The Supervised FSD system is already available in the US, Canada, Mexico, and China.

In a new video released by the American company, you can see what it's like to navigate the streets of the Spanish capital with this system. The vehicle passes by the Puerta de Alcalá and the Cibeles Fountain , skirting Retiro Park before continuing through the lively streets of central Madrid and some more residential neighborhoods.

This is the Total Autonomous Driving system

The images show how Fully (Supervised) Autonomous Driving handles this scenario safely, reacting to nearby vehicles and pedestrians, driving efficiently, and providing passengers with a smooth ride.

These videos were recorded aboard a production Tesla Model 3 , equipped with the same hardware currently used in vehicles delivered to customers. The only difference is the software, which is a test version under development.

Currently, all Tesla models come standard with Autopilot, which enhances both safety and convenience. Going forward, all Tesla vehicles—including the current Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y —will feature Full Unsupervised Self-Driving capabilities, with ongoing updates that will add new driver-assistance features and pave the way for fully autonomous driving.

Safer driving

Tesla's approach to autonomy is based on a purely visual architecture, supported by end-to-end neural networks trained on billions of real-world use cases. By eliminating expensive sensors and HD maps , this system enables scalable and safe deployment across a wide variety of geographies and situations.

Like humans, who drive using both vision and brain power, Tesla's FSD technology relies solely on vision, combined with powerful processing, reducing costs for the customer and enabling continuous system evolution.

Real-world data already shows that advanced driver assistance features significantly improve road safety: in the first quarter of 2025, drivers using Autopilot technology were ten times less likely to be involved in an accident than the average driver.
