Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared that Full Self-Driving (FSD) could receive regulatory approval in the Netherlands as soon as March 20, potentially marking a major step forward for Tesla\u2019s advanced driver-assistance rollout in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Musk shared the update during a recent interview with Giga Berlin plant manager Andre Thierig, noting that the date was provided by local authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTesla has the most advanced real-world AI, and hopefully, it will be approved soon in Europe. We\u2019re told by the authorities that March 20th, it\u2019ll be approved in the Netherlands,\u2019 what I was told,\u201d Musk stated<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHopefully, that date remains the same. But I think people in Europe are going to be pretty blown away by how good the Tesla car AI is in being able to drive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tesla\u2019s FSD system relies on vision-based neural networks trained on real-world driving data, allowing vehicles to navigate using cameras and AI rather than traditional sensor-heavy solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The performance of FSD Supervised has so far been impressive. As per Tesla\u2019s safety report, Full Self-Driving Supervised has already traveled 8.3 billion miles. So far, vehicles operating with FSD Supervised<\/a> engaged recorded one major collision every 5,300,676 miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison, Teslas driven manually with Active Safety systems recorded one major collision every 2,175,763 miles, while Teslas driven manually without Active Safety recorded one major collision every 855,132 miles. The U.S. average during the same period<\/a> was one major collision every 660,164 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If approval is granted on March 20, the Netherlands could become the first European market to greenlight Tesla\u2019s latest supervised FSD (Supervised) software under updated regulatory frameworks. Tesla has been working to secure expanded FSD access across Europe, where regulatory standards differ significantly from those in the United States. Approval in the Netherlands would likely serve as a foundation for broader EU adoption, though additional country-level clearances may still be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
