Europe 🇪🇺 is trying to figure out if FSD should be allowed.
Meanwhile in the US 🇺🇸 you can select what burger you want on the screen, and the car literally drives you there.

This is pretty cool
You can enable FSD Supervised without setting a destination to let your Tesla show you around

First (supervised) FSD approval in Europe!
Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.
De toekomst van mobiliteit is aangebroken
FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 & will begin rolling out in the country shortly!
Trained on billions of kilometers of real-world driving data, it can drive you almost anywhere under your supervision – from residential roads to city streets & highways
No other vehicle can do this.
We're excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon

A new dawn — after pages after pages of documents, countless reviews and many colleagues sleepless nights in order to bring this product to you. Thank you for your patience. 🥹

RDW was extremely rigorous in their review

NEWS: Dutch regulators (RDW), which just approved @Tesla FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands, have just issued an official statement:
"Due to the continuous strict monitoring of the driver in the vehicle, the system is safer than other driver assistance systems. We have thoroughly researched and checked this system, more than a year and a half.
The RDW has issued a type approval for Tesla's driver's assistance system, FSD Supervised. This driver's assistance system has been extensively researched and tested on our test track and on public roads for more than a half years. Safety is paramount for the RDW. The proper use of this driver's system makes a positive contribution to road safety."
This approval from the RDW clears the path for approval in other European countries. Tesla owners in the Netherlands will be receiving FSD (Supervised) on their cars shortly. Amazing day!

Tesla FSD turning driving into a “back in my day” story.
You had to steer? The whole time?
Watch the road yourself? Seriously?
Yeah… good luck explaining that.

Europe will love Tesla self-driving!
Due to the extreme regulatory burden of the EU, which in general stifles innovation in Europe, Tesla owners there have been stuck with basic lane-following.

German TV reporter testing @Tesla FSD (Supervised) V14 in the country as public transport in rural areas:
"I was genuinely impressed. In the situations where we experienced the system, it worked perfectly and safely. I hadn't expected that. Even in the bad weather conditions in the Eifel region. In many cases, it reacted at least as well as a human driver, if not better. If Tesla is ever allowed to roll out this system nationwide in Germany, I think it will have a major impact on mobility. And that will only be the beginning of some very significant changes in transportation..."

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!

Really sorry to hear of the passing of Larry Hickmott, the founder of velouk.net. He was essential to the reporting of grass root cycle sport.
We were delighted to support him for 5 years and pass sincere sympathy, to his wife Lynne, family and mother in Australia.
