Drive Tesla reports that Latvia's Road Traffic Safety Directorate (CSDD) formally recognized the approval after reviewing RDW documentation and Tesla information on system changes, including a lower maximum threshold for exceeding posted speed limits, automatic reset of manually selected speed offsets after each trip, and stronger driver monitoring. CSDD says drivers remain fully responsible for their vehicles and warned against smartphone use and distraction. EVwire, citing a Tesla press release and Tesla Europe's post on X, says rollout to customer vehicles begins shortly by over-the-air update, at EUR 99 per month in Latvia, and counts Latvia as the tenth EU country to allow the system. The system still requires active driver supervision and does not make the vehicle autonomous. The exact date of the CSDD decision is not stated in either source.","locationId":"9209ef73-892f-4c17-88c1-17fa33498183","effectiveAt":null,"expiresAt":null,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","formFactors":[],"jurisdiction":null,"complianceDeadline":null,"enforcementEvents":null,"aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"none","reviewNote":null,"createdAt":"2026-10-26T15:27:41.683Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-26T15:27:43.607Z","location":{"id":"9209ef73-892f-4c17-88c1-17fa33498183","name":"Latvia","slug":"latvia","kind":"country","parentLocationId":"e9ddd7a7-0ca9-4987-b35a-532cb7fd52eb","region":"Western Europe","lat":56.8796,"lng":24.6032,"reviewStatus":"reviewed","aliases":[],"collisionRisk":"high","reviewNote":"Country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe (56.88, 24.60).
