January 22, 2026, 8:18 PM EST. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Europe and China could grant regulatory approval for its driver-supervised FSD as early as next month, part of a push to grow software revenue amid slowing vehicle sales. He spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. In Europe, regulators have moved slowly; the Dutch RDW expects a February decision and, once FSD is approved in the Netherlands, other EU countries may recognize the exemption for an early rollout. Separately, Musk said Tesla has begun robotaxi rides in Austin without safety monitors, a milestone shadowed by regulatory hurdles. California registrations fell 11.4%, and deliveries declined for a second year, permitting BYD to top the EV market. Musk also projects humanoid robots could be sold by end of next year, and said robots may outnumber humans.
