"Tesla claimed in a weekend social media post that Dutch regulator RDW was set to approve the use of its driver assistance system, known as Full Self-Driving, or FSD, in February 2026. The organization handles the licensing and registration of vehicles in the Netherlands and is seen as a critical step for Tesla to get approval for - and eventually roll out - FSD to consumers across Europe."
"It seems RDW isn't quite in line with Tesla. The Dutch regulator clarified in a statement on their website that Tesla plans to demonstrate FSD Supervised in February. Bloomberg was first to report on RDW's statement. "RDW and Tesla know what efforts need to be made to make a decision on this in February. Whether the schedule will be met remains to be seen in the coming period. For the RDW, (traffic) safety is paramount," the statement reads."
"Tesla vehicles come standard with a driver assistance system called Autopilot. For an additional $8,000 fee, owners can upgrade to FSD Supervised, which provides additional automated driving features, including steering and lane changes on highways and surface streets. FSD is not self-driving and requires the driver to remain engaged with their hands on the wheel at all times."
Tesla announced that Dutch regulator RDW was set to approve use of its Full Self-Driving system in February 2026 and encouraged public feedback. RDW clarified that Tesla plans to demonstrate FSD Supervised in February and emphasized that safety will determine any decision and timeline. Bloomberg reported RDW's clarification. Tesla vehicles include Autopilot by default, and owners can buy FSD Supervised for an additional $8,000 to obtain features such as steering and lane changes on highways and surface streets. FSD requires drivers to remain engaged with hands on the wheel and is not self-driving. FSD is available in several countries including the United States.
