Overview
- Denmark provisionally approved Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving (Supervised) system after an independent review of Dutch RDW documentation, turning the system on for the country’s eligible cars on Tuesday.
- The approval used EU mutual‑recognition rules that let national authorities accept the RDW’s April provisional type approval instead of repeating tests, a path already taken by the Netherlands, Lithuania and Estonia.
- Regulators emphasize FSD (Supervised) is an SAE Level 2 driver‑assist system that requires continuous driver attention and uses driver‑monitoring cameras; critics have flagged issues with posted speed handling, icy‑road and night performance, and the product name overstating capabilities.
- Tesla says rollouts to owners with Hardware 4 will begin soon and the service is offered by subscription at €99 per month, leaving older HW3 cars out for now pending a later update.
- A pending European Commission/TCMV decision could revoke the Dutch provisional type approval and cause all dependent national clearances to lapse within six months if the bloc rejects the request.
