Regulators have identified at least 13 serious crashes where Tesla's Autopilot was involved.
Tesla is facing a new probe from U.S. auto safety regulators related to its Autopilot driver assistance technology, even as a separate investigation has been closed. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it would investigate the Austin, Texas-based company’s recall of more than 2 million electric vehicles — which make up nearly all of Tesla ’s vehicles on the road in the U.S. — in December.
The new recall investigation covers model year 2012-2024 Model Y, X, S, 3 and Cybertruck EVs in the U.S. equipped with Autopilot. Tesla last week recalled 3,878 Cybertruck electric pickups over faulty accelerators. In December, Tesla said Autopilot’s controls “may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse” and could increase crash risks.
