"The original deadline for providing data related to these incidents was set at January 19, with potential penalties up to $27,874 per day of being late, for a maximum of $139.4 million. But in part because the winter holidays cut into that time a little bit - and with Tesla being inundated with other investigation's requests into its self-driving tech's safety record - the automaker asked to extend the deadline. Evidently, its pleas fell on sympathetic ears: it now has until February 23 to make good."
"Per Ars, the NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation informed the automaker on December 3 that it would need a list of every Tesla produced sold, or leased, in the US, whether those cars had FSD - plus cumulative data showing how many US Teslas have FSD and how often it's used, along with documents like customer complaints, incident reports, and lawsuits related to FSD ignoring traffic laws."
"The investigation, launched last October, covers nearly three million Tesla vehicles installed with the automaker's misleadingly named "Full Self-Driving" mode - which is in reality only partially self-driving - after receiving nearly 60 reports of the software violating traffic laws. Fourteen of these incidents involved crashes, totaling 23 injuries."
NHTSA extended Tesla's deadline to supply data for a probe of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) system to February 23. The probe began last October and covers nearly three million US Teslas equipped with FSD following nearly 60 reports of the software violating traffic laws. Fourteen incidents involved crashes with 23 reported injuries, and six crashes involved the software entering intersections against red lights. The original deadline was January 19 with daily penalties up to $27,874. Tesla requested more time citing holiday delays and multiple ongoing probes. NHTSA requested production lists, cumulative FSD usage data, complaints, incident reports, and related lawsuits.
