TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

The Dutch RDW grants provisional approval for Tesla Full Self-Driving supervised after 18 months of trials on tracks and roads. The decision allows use on all Dutch roads and notifies the European Commission to seek EU-wide adoption under a new technology exemption. Regulators will review the case for broader rollout.

The Netherlands vehicle authority RDW has issued provisional approval for Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system after 18 months of trials, allowing its use on all Dutch roads and notifying the European Commission of plans for broader EU adoption.

RDW conducted extensive testing before approval. The authority ran trials on test tracks and public roads for 18 months prior to the provisional approval granted on April 10. RDW states that the system, if used correctly, can improve road safety.

The approval marks a milestone for Tesla's driver assistance technology in Europe. It follows Tesla's selection of RDW, which previously handled its regular EU vehicle type approvals.

Tesla seeks exemption under EU motor vehicle law. Rather than pursuing standard type-approval, Tesla is requesting an exemption for FSD as a new technology not properly covered by existing rules. This exemption falls under Article 39 of Europe's motor vehicle approval law.
