Tesla would have tried to soften the Dutch RDW authority’s view of its FSD system, according to emails that have recently surfaced. The carmaker aimed to avoid what it saw as overly strict steps in the review of the driver-assistance software.
For Italian readers, the story matters because the Netherlands play a key role in European approvals. If the FSD file advances there, it could shape the technology’s path across the continent.
