SpaceX's Starship rocket has successfully reached orbit and deployed its V3 Starlink satellites into orbit for the first time, officially making this Starship's first revenue-generating flight, a major milestone for the company! Congrats @SpaceX team! Incredible achievement 🚀

Tesla has just open-sourced one of the key pieces of evidence used to support the Netherlands approval of FSD (Supervised) to try and push for EU-wide approval, saying that its safety benefit remains "locked behind bureaucracy." Some highlights: • Tesla conducted 230,000+ structured scenario tests across 6 European cities, achieving a 99%+ overall pass rate with zero safety-critical events. • In Europe, Tesla accumulated 793,000+ FSD engineering miles across 8 countries with zero major or minor collisions attributed to FSD performance. • Tesla reports zero major or minor collisions attributed to FSD performance across the European engineering-fleet validation cited in its safety case. • Only 2.5% of FSD lane changes had a Driver Monitoring System warning during the preceding seven seconds. • Only 0.6% of FSD lane changes had an escalation/driver-response request in the preceding seven seconds. • In Tesla's European engineering fleet, FSD showed 77–97% lower AEB activation rates, depending on road class. • Tesla analyzed nearly 2 billion FSD miles in North America in 2025, including 700+ million non-highway miles. • FSD had 40–69% fewer major collisions than manually driven Teslas with active safety features, depending on road type. • FSD had 48–59% fewer minor collisions than manually driven Teslas with active safety features. • Compared with older Teslas without active safety features, FSD had 71–90% fewer major collisions. • FSD had 74–84% fewer Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) events, suggesting substantially fewer imminent-collision situations. • FSD had 83–95% fewer harsh acceleration/braking events and 55–75% fewer high lateral-acceleration events than manual driving. • During lane changes, FSD had 99% fewer minor collisions on highways and 95% fewer on non-highway roads than manual driving with active safety features. • FSD drivers experienced 67% fewer highway fatigue events than manual drivers. • European testing achieved 98.9% pass rates at roundabouts, 99.2% at intersections, 99.7% at crosswalks, and 99.9% when yielding to cyclists. Tesla added that this exact dashboard was shared with all EU Member States in April 2026, shortly after RDW’s approval, and all data presented is from before that date. Tesla: "European countries recorded 19,400 road deaths in 2025. That's around 53 deaths/day, with the vast majority of these crashes attributed to human error. These deaths are largely preventable with technology we have today. FSD Supervised is already saving lives where it’s approved – yet in much of Europe, that safety benefit remains locked behind bureaucracy." tesla.com/fsd-evidence-dashb…
