According to the same Reuters, Tesla has provided misleading data: https://www.reuters.com/world/tesla-presented-misleading-full-self-driving-safety-data-european-regulators-2026-06-15/
This article also contains a paragraph on that matter:
Karremans said it was possible to question Tesla-presented statistics, but that they had not formed the basis of the RDW’s approval.
"We have asked the RDW about that, and the answer is that this was not the case,” he said, adding that RDW approval was based on its own “independently verified testing."
To be fair, you’re talking about a country that has an almost exclusively flat terrain, a highly developed and well maintained road infrastructure, fine-meshed traffic rules and a culture that collectively values traffic safety.
Out of all the countries in the world, if you had to pick the most controlled environment possible to safely test self-driving, it would probably be the Netherlands.
The problem is that this approval also applies to other EU countries now.
No, they prposed that the rest of the EU states may give approval (and some already did), but it’s not that the Dutch approval applies to all members.
