# Car manufacturer Tesla is stepping up pressure on European regulators to approve its full self-driving technology. The Netherlands has approved the system and recommended European Union-wide approval, while seven other countries have granted national approval. But the technology is not fully autonomous and requires drivers to remain attentive. Seven traffic-safety researchers who reviewed Tesla’s research for Reuters say its safety claims are not supported by evidence. They say the company’s studies do not prove that the system prevents fatal crashes.
