Tesla leaned on Dutch regulator to ease its FSD review, emails show
Tesla presses Dutch vehicle regulator RDW to narrow its review of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) and disputes a €365,000 bill, according to obtained emails. RDW later approves the system and seeks EU approval, with eight EU countries allowing it; the Dutch decision underpins Tesla’s broader push in Europe.
The account raises questions about regulatory oversight of Tesla’s driver-assistance system as its European rollout expands. RDW’s approval also serves as the basis for the company’s wider EU authorization effort.
