Dutch safety regulators just dropped a timeline bomb: Tesla's Full Self-Driving won't hit their roads until February 2026. The authority made it crystal clear they're not budging on this schedule, even going as far as asking enthusiasts to stop flooding their inbox with requests for updates. Apparently, the flood of inquiries got intense enough that they had to issue a public statement telling people to chill. This delay speaks volumes about how European regulators are taking a much more cautious approach compared to the US rollout. For anyone tracking autonomous vehicle adoption timelines or the intersection of AI governance and transportation tech, this marks another data point in the regulatory marathon.

This is how Europeans are, overly cautious. While we're almost on the road in America, they're still dragging their feet. The Netherlands has really annoyed the enthusiasts this time, haha. 2026? How long do we have to wait for that... Tesla might have to endure for a while this time. This is the difference between Web3 and TradFi: one grows wildly while the other is repeatedly validated. When it comes to regulation, the thinking in Europe and America is so different; it's no wonder innovation is running to the US. If by next year FSD is everywhere in the US and the Netherlands is still in the approval process... that would be a slap in the face. Yet another project choked by regulation; I'm used to it by now. But then again, being cautious isn't wrong, as it concerns the safety of real people's lives. It feels like Europe just enjoys being the negative example, being the last to approve everything.

Will it take until 2026 to get on the road? Europeans are really cautious, while we're already off and running over here in the US. --- Regulators are getting annoyed haha, fans are bombarding them to speed things up, and now they’ve directly said don’t ask anymore. --- It's "caution" again from Europe, which basically means slow. In comparison, our FSD is iterating rapidly. --- February 2026... By then, other manufacturers' autonomous driving will probably be fully matured, while Tesla is still in line. --- It's really hard to hold back, a bunch of people are urging for updates to the point where even the regulators have to issue statements. The enthusiasm is off the charts. --- A typical European style, everything has to go through layers of approval. Can their efficiency catch up with the US? Hehe. --- Wait a minute, is this about the Netherlands or the entire EU? It feels like the regulatory mindset across Europe is this conservative. --- That said, being cautious isn’t necessarily a bad thing; problems with autonomous driving can indeed be serious. --- Fans are pushing so hard that the regulators just threw out a timeline, this move from them is quite drastic.

Europeans are really different; they just have to annoy you Americans, it's hilarious. --- Again and again delayed, TSL's autonomous driving has really become turtle speed in Europe. --- 2026? By then how many generations of technology will have iterated? Is it meaningful for regulation to act this way? --- I just say the attitude in Europe; the Americans have already started running, and here they are still dragging their feet. --- After nearly two years, the regulators finally spoke up to tell people to stop bothering them, haha. --- To be honest, Europe's caution is not wrong, but if this conservativeness continues, their competitiveness will really lag behind. --- I'm a bit curious why the Netherlands is so strict; do other European countries have the same attitude? --- By 2026, autonomous driving will probably become a standard configuration; what meaning will this approval have then? --- Love it, the regulatory body was so bothered that they directly issued an announcement asking people to stop asking.

The volume kings stay calm, Europe really doesn't buy into TSL's trap. Wait, 2026? This pace is really tormenting, the US side is almost running. European regulatory authorities are really holding firm, not giving any face at all. This is the difference, the US is aggressive while Europe is conservative, there are reasons to choose either side. Is FSD really this difficult in Europe? I find it hard to understand. The flood of letters that can't be stopped, haha, why is everyone in such a hurry? Rules are rules, it feels like you can't violate them. Let's compare the attitude differences on both sides, the activities are endless.

Europeans play for real, Musk's dream of autonomous driving has to queue here, it can only hit the road in 2026, and it still needs the approval of the regulatory department. Suckers are asking madly and their email is blowing up, in the end, the regulatory department directly issued a notice asking everyone to stop bothering them haha. Compared to the loose attitude over in the US, these old foxes in Europe are clearly tightening the screws. Just wait, everyone, the game of AI governance and wheels has just begun.

tbh the recipe's still cooking... europe really said "we're not serving half-baked ai in our kitchen" lol. feb 2026 is basically telling elon to go simmer down while they actually taste-test the ingredients. meanwhile us regulators are just yeeting it out there like they're speedrunning a soufflé

Europe is really not to be underestimated; it won't be on the road until 2026... over in the US, it's almost everywhere.
