According to Tesla Europe, the automaker&#8217;s driver assistance system was approved in the Netherlands and will start rolling out shortly. RDW, the country&#8217;s regulatory authority on vehicles, confirmed the news with a post on its website about Tesla receiving a type approval for its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">According to the RDW, Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) &#8220;has been extensively examined and tested for more than one and a half years on our test track and on public roads,&#8221; and concluded that it was a &#8220;positive contribution&#8221; to road safety. However, RDW pointed out that a Tesla with FSD Supervised was not &#8220;self-driving,&#8221; adding that the &#8220;driver remains responsible and must always remain in control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">With Dutch approvals, Tesla notched its first regulatory green light for FSD use in Europe. The RDW also added that Tesla&#8217;s FSD Supervised could get &#8220;possible later admittance in all member states of the European Union&#8221; thanks to its approvals. Tesla has been working on bringing its automated driving features to other regions, including Europe and China, as detailed in a roadmap posted in 2024. In the meantime, the automaker&#8217;s software has been mired in several safety investigations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The latest development comes from a probe that targets collisions when using FSD, including the supervised version, in reduced road visibility conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"md:col-main grid grid-cols-article-mobile md:grid-cols-article lg:max-w-[750px]\">\n<div class=\"no-scrollbar col-body mx-4 mb-8 mt-2.5 overflow-x-scroll whitespace-nowrap md:mx-0 md:max-w-[750px] md:overflow-x-visible\">\n<div class=\"mx-auto max-w-screen-sm\">\n<ul class=\"inline-flex text-xs md:text-sm\">\n<li class=\"mr-6\">About our ads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-article-mobile md:grid-cols-article lg:max-w-[750px] drop-cap\" data-article-body=\"true\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Tesla&#8217;s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is ready to make its European debut, and it&#8217;s starting with the Netherlands.
