Overview
- Lithuania’s transport authorities recognized the Dutch temporary approval for Tesla’s FSD (Supervised), and Tesla said the rollout there has begun.
- Officials in Lithuania stressed the software is Level 2 driver assistance that requires drivers to watch the road and be ready to take over at any time.
- The Dutch RDW approved the system after an 18‑month review that included about 1.6 million kilometres of on‑road testing, thousands of closed‑track scenarios, and an Article 39 exemption under EU rules.
- EU regulators have reviewed the Dutch file without a vote so far, and several countries flagged issues such as speeding allowances, performance in icy conditions, and the need to wait for an EU decision.
- Real‑world use in the Netherlands has drawn safety complaints, including a video of FSD braking at a green light, which underscores why constant human supervision is required.
