Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) footage released by the Danish Transport Agency shows the car drifting into a bike lane in Copenhagen.
In the agency’s promotional video, the vehicle follows the road for about 12 seconds before crossing the designated bicycle path, then corrects itself. The clip was part of the agency’s official approval material for FSD in Denmark. (Politiken video “Allerede 12 sekunder inde i PR‑videoen: forstå selvkørende Tesla første fejl i københavnsk gade – men det bliver værre endnu”, 12 June 2026, https://politiken.dk/danmark/forbrug/biler/art10875514/Allerede12‑sekunder‑inde‑i‑PR‑videoen‑beg%C3%A5r‑selvk%C3%B8rende‑Tesla‑f%C3%B8rste‑fejl‑i‑k%C3%B8benhavnsk‑gade‑%E2%80%93‑men‑det‑bliver‑v%C3%A6rre‑endnu)
The mishap matters because the agency’s sign‑off implies regulatory confidence, yet the video itself highlights a basic navigation flaw. If autonomous software can’t respect bike lanes, public trust and road safety are at risk.
It’s worth noting this isn’t a new critique—Tesla’s FSD has faced similar scrutiny elsewhere, and the Danish approval may be more about optics than rigorous testing.
