BRUSSELS, May 13 (Reuters) – Tesla has been authorised to test its supervised self-driving software on \u200cone car on the roads of Belgian \u200cregion of Flanders as part of a the general authorization process, \u200ba spokesperson for regional minister Annick De Ridder said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u2022 The U.S. company could start testing its software on a car as soon as it \u200cget a licence \u2060plate and an insurance, which could be on Wednesday or Friday, as Thursday \u2060is a holiday in Belgium, he said<\/p>\n
\u2022 De Ridder last week said Flanders region is looking into \u200bwhether it \u200bcan quickly authorize the \u200btechnology after the Dutch \u200cregulator provisionally approved the use of the software on Dutch roads last month, making it the first country in the EU to allow the software, which can control a car but requires drivers to \u200cpay attention<\/p>\n
\u2022 Au authorszation by \u200bFlanders would be valid all \u200bover Belgium territory<\/p>\n
\u2022 “The \u200bvehicle will be tested over approximately 5,000 \u200ckilometres to evaluate any \u200bdifferences with the \u200bDutch road infrastructure and traffic rules. If the results are positive, work can quickly be \u200bdone on a \u200cprovisional European type approval,” De Ridder said \u200bin a post on X<\/p>\n
