Tesla is facing an investigation over Full Self-Driving traffic violations

"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into more than 2.8 million Tesla vehicles with the company's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system. As reported earlier by Reuters, the investigation will probe the traffic violations that occur with FSD, including driving through red lights and traveling the wrong way down the street. NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation is looking into 58 traffic safety incidents involving FSD, including 14 crashes and 23 injuries."

"In some cases, a Tesla vehicle failed to stop, or didn't remain stopped, at a red light with FSD engaged, while others involve Teslas with FSD entering the opposite lane of traffic during or following a turn, or attempting to "turn onto a road in the wrong direction despite the presence of wrongway road signs." Tesla is already facing scrutiny from NHTSA, which has opened an investigation into FSD crashes involving low visibility."

"For this most recent investigation, NHTSA will focus on red light and wrong-way violations, but it will also review incidents that occur at railroad crossings. NBC highlighted this issue in a report last month, revealing numerous incidents in which FSD-enabled Teslas failed to stop at railroad crossings with a train approaching. The news of the investigation comes at an awkward time for Tesla, which is in the midst of trying to convince local regulators to authorize its robotaxi service."

NHTSA opened a probe into over 2.8 million Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving focused on traffic violations including running red lights and traveling the wrong way. The Office of Defects Investigation is reviewing 58 incidents that include 14 crashes and 23 injuries. Reported failures include not stopping or failing to remain stopped at red lights, entering opposite lanes during turns, and attempting wrong-way turns despite signage. The agency will also examine railroad crossing incidents where FSD-enabled cars failed to stop for approaching trains. The probe coincides with broader NHTSA scrutiny of Tesla’s driver-assist systems, reporting, and safety features while Tesla pursues robotaxi approvals.
