The Department of Justice is expanding its investigation into Tesla for potential fraudulent claims about the company's self-driving features, focusing on comments made by Elon Musk and other executives regarding Autopilot and Full Self-Driving modes.
Tesla's assisted driving features have faced criticism for misleading drivers into thinking their vehicles can operate autonomously, leading to regulatory scrutiny as accidents and fatalities related to the technology increase.
Following the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's demand for more information about Autopilot-related crashes, Tesla had to recall over two million vehicles, but additional crashes prompted the agency to investigate the recall process.
The NHTSA's inquiry into Tesla's recall protocols and the use of assisted driving highlights ongoing concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the company's self-driving technology.
