Tesla Seeks EU Approval for FSD After Dutch Regulator Cleared System in April

According to Reuters, Tesla is seeking European Union approval for its Full Self-Driving system after Dutch vehicle regulator RDW cleared the supervised software in April. However, regulators in several countries raised concerns about speeding, use on icy roads, and whether the name could mislead drivers, despite some officials reporting strong performance in city tests.

EU approval would require support from countries representing 55% of member states and 65% of the bloc's population. Correspondence also revealed Tesla asked some countries to recognize the Dutch approval before they had reviewed the documents, and regulators complained after Elon Musk urged owners to pressure officials.
