First Safety Data from the Netherlands
Tesla has released its first data on the FSD Supervised driver assistance system in the Netherlands, marking an important milestone for the European rollout. CEO Elon Musk commented on a post on X stating that the system has led to a "significant improvement in safety statistics."
The data shows that vehicles with FSD Supervised activated cause significantly fewer accidents compared to manually driven trips. Initial evaluations revealed a reduction in accident rate by a factor of 3.5 – a value that underscores the superiority of AI-driven driving.
Denmark as the Fourth EU Country
Alongside the publication of safety data, Tesla announced that FSD Supervised has been officially approved in Denmark. This makes Denmark the fourth EU country to approve the system within two months – following the Netherlands, Belgium, and another country. The Danish approval was granted by the national road traffic authority and is based on the UNECE regulation.

The European introduction of FSD Supervised differs from the US market in several aspects:
Outlook: More Countries to Follow
With Denmark and the Netherlands, Tesla has now gained a foothold in several Nordic countries. Insiders expect that Sweden and Norway could be next. Approval for Germany is still pending, as additional technical requirements for driver monitoring are imposed there. Tesla is working on a solution, according to its own statements.
The positive safety data from the Netherlands could increase pressure on the remaining EU states to also approve the system. More details on the rollout can be found in our article on UK approval and Belgian approval.
