US Regulators Begin Inquiry into Self-Driving Teslas Following Series of Accidents
American vehicle safety authorities have opened an examination into Tesla vehicles featuring the full self-driving technology due to safety regulation breaches after numerous collisions.
Safety Agency Finds Safety Regulation Breaches
The NHTSA announced that the electric carmaker's autonomous driving feature, which requires drivers to stay alert and intervene if needed, had caused vehicle behaviour that breached road safety regulations”.
This preliminary evaluation by the NHTSA marks the first step before possibly requesting a withdrawal of the vehicles if the authority determines they pose a risk to public safety.
Concerning Case Findings
The regulatory body stated it had documented accounts of 2.88 million Tesla vehicles running red lights and moving in the incorrect way during lane changes while using the technology.
NHTSA stated it has six documented cases in which a Tesla car, using full self-driving activated, “came to an junction with a red traffic signal, continued to drive into the intersection against the red light and was later part of a collision with other motor vehicles in the junction”.
The authority reported that four accidents had resulted in one or more injuries.
Additional Issues Identified
The NHTSA stated it has found 18 reports and one media report claiming that Tesla cars, operating at an junction with FSD engaged, did not stay stationary for the duration of a red light, failed to stop fully, or did not properly recognize and show the correct traffic signal state in the vehicle interface”.
Some complainants also claimed that FSD “did not provide alerts of the system's intended actions as the vehicle was approaching a red light”.
Ongoing Regulatory Scrutiny
Tesla's FSD, which is more sophisticated than its Autopilot system, has been under investigation by NHTSA for twelve months.
In October 2024, the authority began an inquiry into 2.4 million Tesla vehicles using FSD after four reported collisions in conditions of poor visibility, such as bright sunlight, fog or dust clouds. One such accident, in last year, was deadly.
Company's Official Stance
The company's official position indicates that FSD is “intended for operation by a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is ready to assume control at any time. While these features are designed to improve over time, the presently active features do not render the vehicle self-driving.”
Automated vehicle technology continue to face growing examination from safety agencies as the technology advances and real-world testing reveals potential challenges with current implementations.
