S&P 500 climbs, but Nvidia slip keeps lid on gains
Investing.com -- The Dutch vehicle authority RDW clarified Monday it has not yet committed to approving Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software, contradicting claims made by the electric vehicle maker.
The RDW stated it expects to make a decision on Tesla’s driver assistance system in February, but only after the company demonstrates the technology meets required safety standards.
This statement comes in response to Tesla’s announcement on X on Friday, where the company claimed the RDW "has committed to granting the company the Netherlands National approval" in February.
Tesla had also outlined a potential EU-wide rollout path, stating: "Upon NL National approval, other EU countries can immediately recognize the exemption and also allow rollout within their country. Then we will bring it to a TCMV (Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles) vote for official EU-wide approval."
The EV manufacturer encouraged customers to contact the Dutch agency to "express excitement and thank them for making this happen as soon as possible." In response, the RDW asked people to stop contacting them.
The Dutch authority emphasized that "road safety remains the RDW’s top priority: approval is only possible once the safety of the system has been convincingly demonstrated."
