Using this driver assistance system correctly makes a positive contribution to road safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The function hands over driving to the Tesla&#8217;s computer system, including steering, braking, route navigation and parking, all under the active supervision of the driver, who remains at the controls ready to take over if needed.<\/p>\n<p> The European subsidiary of Tesla, the electric-vehicle company run by the world&#8217;s richest person, Elon Musk, hailed the Netherlands&#8217; move.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;FSD Supervised has been approved in the Netherlands &amp; will begin rolling out in the country shortly!&#8221; it said on X. &#8220;No other vehicle can do this. We&#8217;re excited to bring FSD Supervised to more European countries soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Musk himself hailed the news, saying on X: &#8220;Congratulations to the Tesla team and thank you to the regulatory authorities in the Netherlands for all the hard work required to make this happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch RDW agency stressed the difference between FSD Supervised, with a human remaining at the controls, and full autonomous driving.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;A vehicle with FSD Supervised is not self-driving. It is a driver assistance system, and the driver remains responsible and must always maintain control,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p> RDW&#8217;s decision has to go to the European Commission for authorization, so that its national certification has EU weight.<\/p>\n<p> Tesla sales have been facing headwinds in Europe \u2014 including in the Netherlands \u2014 in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p> Potential clients have turned off by Musk&#8217;s political activism supporting hard-right politics in the U.S. and Germany, while the brand is also facing increased competition from Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"component__item-recirc-block\">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">Go deeper with The Free Press<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
