Dutch regulators approved the use of Tesla’s driver assistance software which handles most driving tasks on highways and city streets under human supervision, in the first regulatory sign‑off for the technology in Europe. Approval from the Netherlands’ RDW for the technology, called Full Self‑Driving Supervised, could help pave the way for acceptance by other European authorities. “Proper use of this driver assistance system makes a positive contribution to road safety,” RDW said in a statement on Friday, after analyzing the results of 18 months of tests on the technology which can steer, brake and accelerate a car.
