Tesla urged Dutch regulator to ease and speed up FSD approval, report says

Tesla wants approval to sell its Full Self-Driving driver-assistance system across Europe.

A Reuters investigation says the company pressed the Dutch regulator to test it sooner and with fewer demands.

The regulator made some concessions, while researchers said Tesla’s studies did not adequately support claims that the system reduces crashes or deaths.

The findings raise questions about whether the review was thorough and transparent, but do not prove the regulator reached the wrong decision.
