Tesla's supervised autonomous driving software approved in the Netherlands, making it the first case in Europe

格隆汇 April 11｜The Dutch regulatory authority has approved the use of Tesla TSLA.O's autonomous driving software on highways and urban roads, marking the first such approval among European electric vehicle manufacturers. The company expects that other EU countries will follow suit. Wide adoption of FSD is central to Tesla's growth strategy. The company's $1 trillion valuation largely depends on CEO Elon Musk's bet that AI-driven autonomous driving software and robot taxis will become the main sources of income for Tesla. Prior to the Dutch approval of the Full Self-Driving Supervised technology, the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW) conducted more than 18 months of testing and analysis. RDW stated in a release on Friday: "Correct usage of this driver assistance system has a positive effect on road safety."
