In autonomous and self-driving vehicle news are Tesla, Pony.ai, Moia, Uber, VW and Robo.ai. In this Article Tesla Receives First European FSD Supervised Approval In Netherlands The Dutch vehicle authority RDW officially granted type approval for Tesla Full Self-Driving Supervised on April 10, 2026, marking the first such authorization within the European Union. The certification follows an 18-month regulatory review involving 1.6 million kilometers of European road data and 4,500 closed-track tests to ensure compliance with UN Regulation 171. The approval utilizes the Article 39 exception procedure, classifying the software as a Driver Control Assistance System rather than a fully autonomous platform. Tesla began an immediate over-the-air rollout of software version 2026.3.6 to Early Access Program members in the Netherlands following the announcement. While the system allows for hands-free operation under specific conditions, RDW mandates active driver supervision enforced by cabin-based eye-tracking cameras and haptic alerts. The Dutch approval establishes a regulatory precedent that other EU member states, including Germany, France, and Italy, are expected to recognize nationally by late spring, with full EU-wide harmonization targeted for summer 2026. Pony.ai Secures Regulatory Approval For By-Invite Rides In Singapore Pony.ai has entered the final pre-public phase of autonomous mobility deployment in Singapore following regulatory clearance for by-invite rides. The service, operated in partnership with ComfortDelGro, utilizes a 12-kilometer route in the Punggol district to connect residential hubs with major retail centers and the Punggol Coast MRT station. Initial performance data indicates a 15-minute reduction in transit time compared to existing public transportation frameworks. The Punggol operation utilizes Pony.ai’s vehicle-agnostic Virtual Driver technology, integrating proprietary software and hardware stacks to navigate complex urban environments. This milestone advances the company’s dual-engine strategy, which focuses on scaling L4 autonomous solutions across China and international markets.
