American Regulators Launch Probe into Autonomous Tesla Vehicles After Series of Crashes
US automobile safety regulators have opened an probe into Tesla cars equipped with the full self-driving technology due to traffic-safety violations after multiple crashes.
Safety Agency Identifies Traffic Law Violations
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the electric carmaker's self-driving assistance system, which requires motorists to remain attentive and take control when necessary, had caused vehicle behaviour that breached road safety regulations”.
This initial assessment by the NHTSA represents the initial phase before possibly requesting a recall of the cars if the authority determines they pose a risk to road safety.
Alarming Case Findings
The regulatory body reported it had documented reports of 2.88 million Tesla cars driving through red lights and traveling against the wrong direction during lane switching while operating the technology.
NHTSA confirmed it has six reports in which a Tesla vehicle, using FSD activated, “came to an intersection with a red traffic signal, proceeded to travel into the intersection despite the red signal and was subsequently part of a crash with other motor vehicles in the junction”.
The authority noted that four accidents had resulted in injuries to occupants.
Additional Safety Concerns
The NHTSA announced it has found 18 reports and one media report alleging that Tesla cars, operating at an intersection with FSD engaged, “failed to remain stopped for the duration of a red light, failed to stop fully, or did not properly recognize and display the correct traffic signal state in the car's display”.
Some complainants also stated that FSD “did not provide alerts of the system's intended actions as the vehicle was coming to a red traffic signal”.
Ongoing Official Examination
Tesla's FSD, which is more sophisticated than its basic autopilot feature, has been being examined by NHTSA for a year.
In October 2024, the authority began an inquiry into 2.4 million Tesla cars equipped with FSD after four documented crashes in conditions of poor visibility, such as bright sunlight, mist or dust clouds. One such accident, in last year, was deadly.
Company's Stated Position
The company's official position indicates that FSD is “designed for operation by a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is ready to take over at any time. While these capabilities are engineered to become more capable, the currently enabled functions do not render the car self-driving.”
Self-driving car systems continue to face growing examination from safety agencies as the technology advances and real-world testing reveals possible issues with current implementations.
