Tesla FSD gets green light for European push after Netherlands approval

Tesla\'s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software has secured approval from Dutch authorities after 18 months of verification, laying groundwork for an expansion into Europe. The Dutch vehicle authority RDW plans to propose applying the approval across the European Union. But scepticism from other regulators over safety standards and the appropriateness of the name has clouded prospects for final approval. EU-wide approval requires support from 15 of 27 members, with a vote possible as early as July or October.

Mobility hot issues: Tesla beats expectations despite AI and robotics burden; Sony-Honda EV exit

Tesla reported first-quarter results that beat market expectations despite concerns about slowing electric vehicle demand. Revenue rose to $22.39 billion from a year earlier, while expanded capital spending focused on AI and robotics is adding to financial pressure. The company also faces controversy over cash flows, putting the balance between growth strategy and profitability in focus. Separately, Sony Group and Honda decided to effectively suspend their EV joint venture, and GM halted plans for a next-generation revamp of large electric pickups and SUVs.
