Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system has received regulatory approval for its European debut in the Netherlands. The country’s vehicle authority, RDW, confirmed this development, indicating that the driver assistance technology will begin rolling out shortly.
The RDW reported that Tesla’s FSD Supervised underwent extensive testing for over 18 months, deeming it a positive contribution to road safety. However, the authority emphasized that the system does not equate to full autonomy, as drivers must remain in control at all times.
This approval marks Tesla’s first regulatory success in Europe for its FSD technology. The RDW noted that further EU member states could eventually permit the use of FSD Supervised based on this initial authorization.
Tesla is expanding its automated driving capabilities internationally, with plans for other regions including China. Meanwhile, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration continues investigations into safety incidents involving Tesla’s FSD systems under various conditions.
