MyWheels, the Dutch car-sharing operator, put a Tesla running Full Self-Driving (Supervised) into its public fleet on 27 August 2026. It is the first shared car in the Netherlands offered with the system, and on launch day the fleet contained precisely one of them, parked in Den Bosch.
What was actually launched
The company says it wants at least 50 FSD-equipped shared cars in the fleet before the end of 2026, added "step by step and in a controlled environment". For now, a member who wants to try one has to travel to Den Bosch. Rental rates and insurance terms are unchanged for the pilot, so the FSD car costs a renter no more than any other MyWheels Tesla.
Chief executive Laurens van de Vijver framed it as a first step rather than a finished product: self-driving shared cars will be "a crucial building block of the mobility transition", and the launch positions the company for a future in which a shared car drives itself to your door and then on to the next user. That is not what is on offer this week.
The renter is still the driver
FSD (Supervised) is a Level 2 driver-assistance system in Europe, not autonomy. The RDW approved Tesla's version 2026.3.6 on 10 April 2026 under UN Regulation 171, which governs Driver Control Assistance Systems. The approval lets a driver take their hands off the wheel in suitable conditions. It does not let them stop watching the road, and it does not shift legal responsibility away from the person in the driver's seat.
That distinction carries more weight in a shared car than in a private one. A MyWheels member may be meeting the system for the first time, in a car they picked up five minutes earlier, possibly in an unfamiliar city. The Dutch coverage is consistent on the three obligations that come with the key: supervise the trip continuously, remain responsible for it, and be able to intervene.
Why the Netherlands and nowhere else in Europe
This is possible in the Netherlands because the Netherlands is where the paperwork exists. Lithuania and Estonia recognised the Dutch certificate; Denmark and Belgium accepted it after examining the file, Belgium after a further 5,000 km of its own testing on Flanders' roads. Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Czech Republic have signalled they would rather wait for a coordinated EU decision than issue a national clearance Brussels might later overturn — which is why Tesla's Italian filing is still a filing.
So the first supervised-self-driving shared car in the country arrives in the one European market whose regulator moved first, and it arrives while Waymo is preparing driverless operation in Munich for 2027 — a category above anything a supervised Tesla is permitted to do here.
The number to watch is 50
MyWheels has form on turning a pilot into a fleet. It runs close to 400 vehicle-to-grid shared cars in Utrecht and Eindhoven, worth roughly 2 MW at peak, and is aiming at 1,000 vehicles and about 5 MW. Whether the FSD fleet reaches 50 by December is the test of whether this was a fleet decision or a launch announcement. Today it is one car in one city.
