  "textContent": "BRUSSELS: Belgium’s Flanders region is reviewing whether to fast-track approval for Tesla’s supervised “full self-driving” (FSD) software after regulators in the Netherlands became the first in the EU to grant provisional permission for its use on public roads.\n\nThe Dutch approval last month marked a key step for the technology, which can control a vehicle but still requires driver supervision.\n\nFlemish Transport Minister Annick De Ridder said she has asked Tesla to provide documentation to assess whether a quick approval is possible, with a decision expected by the end of the week. She said innovation should be encouraged while maintaining safety standards.\n\nTesla CEO Elon Musk has expressed confidence that the EU will eventually approve the system, although regulators in several countries including Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway remain cautious over safety concerns.\n\nIn Belgium, transport regulation is handled at the regional level. Tesla has also submitted a request to the Wallonia region, while officials in Brussels have not yet commented.\n\nThe post Belgium considers Tesla self-driving approval after Dutch green light appeared first on HUM News English.",
