Rate Of Return🚀🔥 Rome has officially become the latest testing ground for Tesla FSD—and this time, the person sitting in the passenger seat is the mayor himself.
When a city's mayor and transportation chief choose to personally ride in a #Tesla FSD (Supervised Mode) vehicle, experiencing it firsthand in the chaotic urban traffic of Italy—this is no longer just a PR move but a political signal.
Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri and Transportation Director Eugenio Patanè didn’t watch demo videos or listen to technical briefings this time.
They got inside the system and personally experienced:
How the vehicle makes judgments, hesitates, changes lanes, merges into roundabouts, handles motorcycles cutting in, and deals with unpredictable intersections…
These are the extreme challenges Rome’s roads present to drivers every day.
This kind of firsthand experience is more critical than any official statement or technical document.
Because once policymakers personally witness how the system performs in real-world chaotic environments, the focus shifts from:
“Is FSD safe?”
→ “How quickly can we draft regulations?”
“Is autonomous driving still far away?”
→ “Where should we start pilot programs?”
For Tesla, putting government officials in the passenger seat is the most powerful way to drive adoption.
It accelerates regulatory acceptance, speeds up legalization, and shifts public perception of autonomous driving from a “Silicon Valley tech product” to “urban transportation infrastructure.”
Italy’s roads are among the most challenging in Europe to navigate.
If FSD (Supervised Mode) can operate smoothly in Rome—with officials riding along—the next questions become clear:
Which European city will approve Tesla next?
And who will be the first to allow unsupervised mode?
📢 Focused on tracking the political, regulatory, and institutional inflection points in Tesla’s autonomous driving and Robotaxi rollout—from testing and pilot programs to policy formation—so you can spot opportunities before they become regulations.
