"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the self-driving mode of 2.88 million Teslas after receiving over 50 reports of vehicles violating traffic laws, which resulted in 14 crashes and 23 injuries. This probe comes just a few weeks after the agency launched an investigation into the multiple deaths connected to alleged faulty electronic door handles including the fatal crash involving three Piedmont teens, which the company is now redesigning, as SFist reported."
"Additionally, per CBS News, the NHTSA had already opened a probe into Tesla's self-driving mode last year after reports of crashes stemming from low-visibility conditions, such as fog, one of which resulted in a pedestrian's death. The NHTSA is also reviewing Tesla's "summon" parking feature, which has resulted in some minor parking lot crashes when the cars were instructed to pick their owners up remotely."
NHTSA opened a third probe into Tesla this year to investigate the Full Self-Driving (FSD) mode across about 2.88 million vehicles after receiving 58 complaints and over 50 reports of traffic-law violations. Reports allege FSD ignored red and green lights, veered into oncoming traffic, used incorrect lanes for turns or going straight, and drove straight from turning lanes, contributing to 14 crashes and 23 injuries. The agency is also reviewing the summon parking feature and prior probes into alleged faulty electronic door handles and crashes in low-visibility conditions. A study found FSD required 75 human interventions per 1,000 miles.
