US EditionTesla Full Self-Driving Gets Huge Breakthrough on European Expansion
Tesla finished final Full Self-Driving testing in the Netherlands with over 1.6 million kilometers driven, aiming for regulatory approval by April 10 and possible EU-wide clearance in summer.
- On Friday, Tesla Europe announced it has "officially completed the final vehicle testing phase" for Full Self-Driving in the Netherlands, though the expected approval date has shifted from March 20 to April 10.
- The Dutch road authority RDW is conducting an internal review of documentation, having previously corrected CEO Elon Musk's earlier claims that approval was guaranteed by the original March 20 target.
- To support its application, Tesla shared data including over 1.6 million kilometers of testing on European roads, more than 13,000 customer ride-alongs, and over 4,500 track test scenarios covering 400-plus requirements.
- National approval in the Netherlands would allow other European countries to adopt the system immediately under EU mutual recognition rules, potentially enabling an EU-wide rollout by summer 2026.
- Meanwhile, regulators in the United States recently upgraded an investigation into FSD crashes to an Engineering Analysis covering 3.2 million vehicles, while Musk expects the upcoming v14.3 release to improve navigation.
