Tesla owners in Sweden are pushing for approval of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) tests in Stockholm, but city officials remain steadfast in their refusal. Amidst efforts to lobby city leaders through open letters and social media, they argue that blocking these tests may hinder technological advancements that could save lives. Acknowledging their advocacy, the Swedish Transport Administration suggested that while it could permit tests, local governmental support is crucial. As the next municipal election approaches, Tesla owners assert that officials' decisions will be weighed by voters' perceptions.
Despite the ongoing efforts of Tesla owners in Stockholm to gain approval for autonomous driving tests, city officials remain resistant, reinforcing their hardline stance against FSD trials.
Tesla owners in Sweden are actively lobbying city officials to permit FSD trials, emphasizing potential public support and electoral repercussions for decision-makers refusing to reevaluate their stance.
Members of the Traffic Committee are politically appointed by the Stockholm City Council, whose mandate is determined by the popular vote. Your stance—continuing to block a conditional pilot of FSD—is thus a political decision and fully subject to the electorate's judgment in the next municipal election.
When the City prevents tests that could validate and refine the technology locally, it is perceived as hampering life-saving innovation, according to the Swedish Tesla owners.
