What has four electric motors, one seat, and can do at least 225 miles per hour in a straight line?

Last year, the European Commission announced fast-tracking the autonomous driving regulations, raising hopes that Tesla FSD would be allowed on European roads in 2024. However, the way the rules have been defined prevents Tesla's software from functioning as designed, making it unusable. The best European drivers can hope for is a tweaked older version of the FSD Beta software, not the end-to-end AI FSD V12.
