Driving a Tesla with Autopilot or FSD into Malaysia? Learn about VEP compliance for AI-assisted vehicles and how MyMechanic ensures a smooth process.
As AI-powered cars become more common on Singapore roads — especially models like Tesla with Full Self-Driving (FSD) or Autopilot — the question arises: Can these smart vehicles cross into Malaysia without VEP complications?
The short answer is yes — but with important considerations.
At MyMechanic, we help Tesla owners and other AI-assist vehicle drivers understand how Malaysia’s Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system treats advanced driving technology — and how to stay compliant.
Yes. Malaysia’s VEP system is based on vehicle registration, not driving technology.
That means even if your car supports Full Self-Driving (FSD), Autopilot or Auto Lane Change, Smart Summon, or Navigate on Autopilot, it can still be registered for VEP and issued an RFID tag, just like any other Singapore car.
However, you must be in full control while driving in Malaysia, as autonomous driving remains restricted by local law.
Tesla owners using third-party leasing or business vehicles may need extra authorization letters.
Though VEP registration is possible, Malaysia has not yet legalized autonomous or AI-based driving on public roads.
So even if your car is capable of driving itself, following traffic autonomously, or changing lanes or overtaking on command, you must retain full manual control when in Malaysia.
Malaysia’s JPJ and transport laws currently prohibit hands-free driving, regardless of vehicle capabilities.
Our team understands the nuances of newer car tech — and how to work around systems that may not yet fully support them.
You're investing in smart mobility — we make sure you stay compliant across the Causeway.
