The Dutch regulator, RDW, announced that after more than a year and a half of testing, it has officially approved Tesla’s Full-Self Driving (FSD) Supervised. This makes the Netherlands the first European country to authorize the use of FSD on its roads. This could open the door to widespread adoption across the EU. Tesla’s European headquarters are located in Amsterdam, so it’s only fitting that the country is the first to adopt the company’s FSD.
In a statement announcing the approval, RDW said that, “Correctly using driver assistance systems contributes positively to road safety because the driver is supported in their driving tasks; it complements the driver. Through continuous strict monitoring of the driver in the vehicle, the system is safer than other driver assistance systems.”
The update implementing FSD Supervised (version 2026.3.6) has started rolling out to a limited number of users. Drivers will need to watch a tutorial and take a quiz before enabling self-driving, which reminds people that FSD Supervised “does not make your vehicle autonomous. Don’t be careless.”
