Update, August 19, 2026: Martin Kolovratník’s November 2025 reply was a promise to put FSD on a Transport Committee agenda. It was not a Czech type-approval and not a public-road Supervised launch. Tesla later ran more Europe FSD demos (Tesery: Europe demo note). A deputy’s “I like it” is not RDW.
In late November 2025, Czech Chamber of Deputies member Martin Kolovratník (ANO) replied on X after a constituent pointed at Tesla FSD and asked whether Czechia would move if the Netherlands did. Kolovratník wrote that he knew about it, liked it, found it interesting, and that once committees were set up he would “open it right away in that transport one” and deliver a report. Open the original X post. That is a committee-to-discuss signal. It is not FSD (Supervised) approved in Czechia, and it is not unsupervised Robotaxi on Czech roads.
I know about it. I like it and it seems interesting to me. Once we set up the committees and subcommittees, we’ll open it right away in that transport one. Thanks for the tip, I’ll deliver the report.

Key facts
- Who: Kolovratník, a sitting deputy — not the transport minister issuing an order.
- What he promised: To open FSD in the transport committee and bring a report.
- Same thread, different issue: He had also been arguing that EV highway-toll exemptions should end by 2027. That is tax fairness, not autonomy law.
- What this is not: Mutual recognition of a Dutch permit, or FSD on every Czech Model 3/Y.
A committee vs a gazette
European FSD still runs through national authorities and EU type-approval. Tesery treated the Netherlands February window as a window, not a grant, and treated an Austrian driver-hire ad as staffing. Use the same rule here: a deputy can put an item on a list. He cannot flip the car’s software legality by liking a tweet. CleanTechnica summarized the same exchange on Nov. 28, 2025.
FAQ
Did Czechia approve FSD Supervised in November 2025?
No. One deputy said he would raise it in committee.
Is this the same as the Korean politician ride?
No. Lee So-young’s note was a Supervised ride. This is a Prague agenda promise.
Did he endorse ending EV toll breaks?
Yes, separately — equal highway rules by 2027, in his telling. Do not merge that with FSD approval.
For Czech owners: a committee mention does not put FSD on your VIN or change your dálniční známka.
