The NGO also claims the system may enable speeding, although real-world data shows supervised FSD improves ro
- RDW granted provisional approval for FSD in Europe

- ETSC cites NHTSA/NTSB investigations to question safety
🔎 Why it matters: ETSC's campaign impacts EU-wide FSD approval after RDW's provisional authorization, crucial for Tesla's expansion.
