Together with RDW, we have officially completed the final vehicle testing phase for Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and have submitted all documentation required for the UN R-171 approval Article 39 exemptions. The RDW team is now reviewing the documentation and test results package internally. They have communicated the expected approval for Netherlands date of 4/10, shifting from 3/20 previously and we look forward to successful completion of this cooperation.  Following the Netherlands’ approval, European countries will be able to recognize this approval nationally. We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer. Over the past 18 months, this approval has involved a series of intense documentation, development, testing, research & audits. Including but certainly not limited to: – 1,600,000 km of FSD (Supervised) testing on EU roads – 13,000 customer sales ride-alongs – 4,500 track test scenario executions – Thousands of pages of written documentation for 400 compliance requirements – Dozens of research studies into safety performance/results We're extremely proud of the work conducted with the RDW team up until this point. We very much look forward to the approval in April, and sharing FSD (Supervised) with our patient EU customers!

UNECE ADAS Task Force This task force has now submitted informal documents to the GRVA ready for the meeting that starts on 19 January. Here is the informal document which supercedes the formal document submitted back in October and describes the 02 series of amendments to the DCAS UNR unece.org/sites/default/file… In that document there are a handful of provisions highlighted in yellow which were not agreed by the task force and require the full GRVA to resolve them. The restriction of "SIM on highways only" has been removed (page 16, section 5.3.2.4.9). In addition there is an update to UNR 79 (Steering Equipment) around ACSF which clarifies when UNR 171 (DCAS) can take priority over UNR 79 with respect to parking manoeuvers, details here unece.org/sites/default/file… They also have submitted a status report which they will present at the GRVA which you can find here unece.org/sites/default/file… The slide below is taken from the status report and shows they have completed all the items they set out to resolve in what they call "DCAS phase 3": SIM on highways, highway-like roads, urban environments and other domains. "Hands off driving" is permitted on highways and highway-like roads. DCAS operation is allowed in closed parking areas. Lane change requirements changed to allow for a more natural driving experience. Approval at this GRVA means this DCAS UNR update goes to the WP.29 World Forum in June for a vote. Following a successful vote there and the usual 6 month hiatus for new or updated UNRs it will be in force from January 2027.
