AMSTERDAM, March ‌20 (Reuters) - Tesla ​Europe ​expects a decision by April 10 from the Dutch vehicle ‌authority RDW on whether to approve ⁠Full Self-Driving technology in the Netherlands, ‌it said on Friday.

RDW ‌said in a reaction it is close to a decision, but it ​would not confirm the April 10 date.

"Tesla and the RDW ⁠are now going through the last steps in the ​evaluation process," RDW said in a statement.

"During this final phase our ​inspectors are studying ‌all the data and test results and after that has ⁠been finished, a decision will be made about the admissibility of the ⁠driver assistance system (known as) FSD Supervised."

The agency said ​in November it would approve the technology only once its safety had been convincingly ‌demonstrated.

"We are anticipating a possible EU-wide approval during the summer," ‌Tesla Europe said in a ⁠statement posted on ‌social media platform ​X.
