Tesla Stock Rises as It Seeks to Tap Massive Self-Driving Market

Tesla stock rose modestly early Thursday as it continues to work toward European approval for its Full Self-Driving driver-assistance product, which could unlock a new stream of earnings for the car maker.

The move comes after Reuters reported that the Netherlands is keeping secret the data it used to approve FSD in the country, which could pose an issue for wider adoption in the European Union. FSD is Tesla’s highest-level driver assistance product that can do most of the driving most of the time.
