US Authorities Launch Investigation into Autonomous Tesla Vehicles After String of Accidents
American vehicle safety authorities have opened an examination into Tesla vehicles featuring the autonomous driving system due to safety regulation breaches after numerous accidents.
Safety Agency Identifies Safety Regulation Violations
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the automaker's autonomous driving feature, which requires drivers to remain attentive and intervene if needed, had caused vehicle behaviour that violated traffic safety laws”.
This initial assessment by the NHTSA marks the initial phase before possibly requesting a withdrawal of the cars if the agency concludes they present a danger to public safety.
Concerning Case Findings
The agency stated it had received accounts of 2.88 million Tesla vehicles driving through red lights and traveling against the incorrect way during lane switching while using the system.
NHTSA confirmed it has six reports in which a Tesla vehicle, operating with FSD engaged, “came to an junction with a red light, continued to drive into the crossroads against the red signal and was subsequently part of a crash with other cars in the intersection”.
The agency reported that four accidents had resulted in injuries to occupants.
Further Safety Concerns
The NHTSA announced it has identified 18 reports and one news account alleging that Tesla vehicles, driving through an intersection with FSD active, did not stay stopped for the duration of a red traffic signal, failed to stop fully, or failed to accurately detect and display the correct light status in the car's display”.
Several reporters also stated that FSD “did not provide warnings of the technology's intended actions as the vehicle was approaching a red traffic signal”.
Continuing Official Examination
The full self-driving system, which is more sophisticated than its Autopilot system, has been being examined by NHTSA for twelve months.
In late 2024, the agency began an inquiry into 2.4 million Tesla cars using FSD after four reported collisions in conditions of reduced visibility, such as sun glare, fog or dust clouds. One of these collisions, in 2023, was deadly.
Company's Official Stance
Tesla's website states that FSD is “intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to assume control at any moment. While these capabilities are designed to improve over time, the presently active features do not render the vehicle self-driving.”
Self-driving vehicle technology continue to face increased scrutiny from safety agencies as the systems develop and real-world testing reveals possible issues with current implementations.
