Dutch regulators approved the use of Tesla¡¯s self-driving software with required human supervision on highways and city streets in a European first for the electric car maker, which hopes to see similar action from the rest of the European Union.

Wide FSD ?adoption is central to Tesla¡¯s growth strategy. Much of the company¡¯s $1 trillion valuation hinges on Chief Executive Elon ?Musk¡¯s bet ?that artificial-intelligence-driven self-driving software and robotaxis will become a major revenue stream.

The Netherlands¡¯ approval for ?the technology, called Full Self-Driving Supervised, which can steer, brake and accelerate a car, follows more than 18 months of tests and analysis by the Dutch vehicle authority RDW.
