Dutch road authority says 40,000 Teslas in the Netherlands using 'self-driving' software

The Dutch road authority RDW reports that 40,000 Teslas using the "Full Self Driving" software have collectively driven 24 million kilometers without serious incidents under driver supervision.

The Dutch ​road authority said on Wednesday ‌that 40,000 ​Teslas in the Netherlands had begun using the carmaker's "full self driving" driver assistance software and had collectively ‌driven 24 million kilometers (14.9 million miles) so far without any serious incidents. The RDW agency, which approved the use of the FSD supervised software on April 10 ‌in a European first, said in a statement it is monitoring ‌the technology monthly, rather than yearly as it normally would.

Though it is called "Full Self Driving (supervised)", the software is classified as driver assistance. It can steer a car, accelerate and brake, ⁠but drivers ​must have their ⁠eyes on the road and hands ready to intervene.
