How we verify →
The Dutch vehicle authority RDW grants Tesla type approval for its Full Self-Driving Supervised system, marking the first European country to officially approve the driver-assist technology.

The approval falls under the UN R-171 regulation for Driver Control Assistance Systems after more than 18 months of testing. It holds provisional validity only in the Netherlands, though other EU member states can opt to recognize it nationally—a process that is not automatic.

Tesla Europe announces the approval on X, stating FSD Supervised will begin rolling out in the country shortly. The company describes the system as trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, claiming no other vehicle can match this.

RDW confirms the European type approval in its statement, emphasizing that FSD Supervised is a driver assistance system—not autonomous or self-driving. The driver remains legally responsible and must take over immediately at all times.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
