Tesla Starts Rolling Out FSD (Supervised) in the Netherlands

One day after official approval by the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW), Tesla began rolling out Full Self-Driving (Supervised) to owners in the Netherlands.

The update is included in software version 2026.3.6 and is reaching a limited set of early public testers. For now, availability appears confined to vehicles equipped with Tesla’s AI4 (Hardware 4) computer. This is the first time FSD has been legally permitted to operate on public roads within the European Union.

The First Domino Falls in Europe

For years, European drivers used a reduced version of Autopilot due to United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) regulations. Approval in the Netherlands shows Tesla’s vision-based system can meet EU safety requirements and may encourage other countries to follow the RDW’s example.

The release notes for the Dutch rollout state that FSD can now "drive your Tesla almost anywhere. It will start from a parked position, make lane changes, select forks to follow your navigation route, navigate around other vehicles and objects, make left and right turns, and stop at your destination." While FSD v14.3 is the latest version in North America, owners in the Netherlands are receiving a different build: FSD 14.2.2.5.

Unique Requirements for Dutch Drivers

Due to strict local laws, the European experience includes region-specific UI features and safety indicators. The release notes specify: "To use the feature, first watch the tutorial and take the quiz, available in the new Self-Driving App or in Control > Self-Driving."

Tesla also reminds drivers that the system "does not make your vehicle autonomous. Do not become complacent." The mandatory quiz reinforces the "Supervised" nature of the software and the need to remain attentive and ready to take over at all times.

A New Era for Global Expansion

The launch in the Netherlands is a notable step in Tesla’s global roadmap. While North American owners have used the end-to-end neural networks for years, Europe’s tight city streets and complex roundabouts will add valuable real-world data.

As availability grows beyond the initial AI4 testers, the software is expected to reach older HW3 vehicles, potentially using an earlier or reduced architecture. For now, drivers in the Netherlands are leading Tesla’s rollout in Europe.
