U.S. Authorities to Investigate 2.9 Million Teslas with Autopilot After Multiple Crashes
Tesla has not yet commented on the reports.
On October 9, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched an investigation into approximately 2.88 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. The move follows 58 reports of traffic safety violations involving Teslas using FSD, including 14 crashes and 23 injuries.
Among the incidents under review are six cases in which a Tesla operating with FSD reportedly “approached an intersection, proceeded through a red light, and collided with other vehicles.” Following the investigation, the NHTSA may require Tesla to issue a recall if the vehicles are deemed to pose an unreasonable safety risk.
Tesla has not yet issued a public comment regarding the investigation, though the company did release a software update for the FSD system earlier this week.
