VEP for AI-Assisted Driving Systems (Tesla FSD, etc.): Compliance Issues

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.

Can Tesla (or AI-Driven Cars) Get a VEP in Malaysia?

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.

Requirements for AI-Assisted Vehicle VEP

  • Vehicle log card (RC)
  • Road tax (valid)
  • Insurance covering Malaysia
  • Passport or NRIC
  • RFID tag installation (via MyMechanic)

Tesla owners using third-party leasing or business vehicles may need extra authorization letters.

Compliance Issues to Be Aware Of

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.
