Approval Process for Tesla Full Self-Driving Technology in the Netherlands
Timeline and Expectations
AMSTERDAM, March 20 (Reuters) - Tesla Europe expects a decision by April 10 from the Dutch vehicle authority RDW on whether to approve Full Self-Driving technology in the Netherlands, it said on Friday.
RDW's Position and Evaluation Process
RDW said in a reaction it is close to a decision, but it would not confirm the April 10 date.
Final Steps in the Evaluation
"Tesla and the RDW are now going through the last steps in the evaluation process," RDW said in a statement.
Inspection and Data Analysis
"During this final phase our inspectors are studying all the data and test results and after that has been finished, a decision will be made about the admissibility of the driver assistance system (known as) FSD Supervised."
Safety Requirements
The agency said in November it would approve the technology only once its safety had been convincingly demonstrated.
Potential for EU-wide Approval
"We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer," Tesla Europe said in a statement posted on social media platform X.
