Netherlands Approves Tesla's Full Self-Driving Software Amidst U.S. Safety Concerns
The Netherlands has become the first European country to approve Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, a significant milestone for the company in Europe. The Dutch regulatory body, RDW, announced the approval after over a year and a half of testing. This decision allows Tesla to roll out its FSD Supervised version 2026.3.6 to a limited number of users in the country. The approval comes with conditions, requiring drivers to complete a tutorial and quiz before enabling the feature, emphasizing that the system does not make the vehicle autonomous. This development occurs as Tesla faces scrutiny in the U.S., where the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the software, potentially leading to a recall.
