The company will be allowed to sell cars with FSD in the Netherlands.
Dutch regulators approved Tesla's "Full Self-Driving (Supervised)" semiautonomous driving system, the first time the driver assistance system has been approved in Europe.
As Leon Poultney explains in a piece for TechRadar, the European version of FSD (Supervised) differs from the American tech. "Dutch owners will have to pass a mandatory safety quiz before FSD activates, for example, while the 'Sloth' to 'Mad Max' speed profiles in the US version have been ditched in favor of more straightforward 'Max Speed' setting in the Netherlands."
RWD, the Dutch organization that approved the system, cautioned that the system is "not self-driving" and that the "driver remains responsible and must always remain in control."
