What's driving the attention

The RDW plans to test more rigorously for unresolved vehicle recalls, which has raised concerns about unfairly penalizing motorists.

The RDW (Netherlands Vehicle Authority) is proposing to tighten vehicle inspections to include checking for outstanding recalls. This measure aims to improve vehicle safety but has sparked debate as it might cause motorists to be penalized due to manufacturer delays. Tesla, for example, has pressured the RDW to keep Full Self-Driving test data confidential, highlighting tensions between safety enforcement and proprietary technology.
