Belgium reports four minor Tesla self-driving accidents; minister notes averted crashes

Flemish Mobility Minister Annick De Ridder disclosed in parliament that four minor accidents involving self-driving Teslas have occurred on Belgian roads, based on Tesla-provided data. The minister emphasized that averted accidents are not reported, suggesting the safety record may be better than raw accident counts imply. This is an early, low-severity data point on autonomous vehicle safety in Europe, with limited regulatory or market impact.
