Tesla Full Self‑Driving Gains First European Approval in the Netherlands

Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system has received regulatory permission to operate in the Netherlands, marking the first European country to allow the technology. The approval follows a recent drive by XpengCam contributor Dick Helders, who was among the first to test the system in Dutch traffic. The move positions the Netherlands as a pioneer for autonomous vehicle deployment in Europe and signals a potential shift in how European regulators approach advanced driver‑assist technologies. The decision also raises questions about safety standards, data privacy, and the broader rollout of FSD across the continent.
