Federal safety investigators want Tesla to tell them how it developed the fix in a recall of more than 2 million vehicles with the company’s Autopilot partially automated driving system.
FILE - A Model X sports-utility vehicle sits outside a Tesla store in Littleton, Colo., June 18, 2023. Shares of Tesla stock rallied Monday, April 29, 2024, after the electric vehicle maker's CEO, Elon Musk , paid a surprise visit to Beijing over the weekend and reportedly won tentative approval for its driving software.
The 18-page letter asks how Tesla used human behavior science in designing Autopilot, and the company's assessment of the importance of evaluating human factors. NHTSA said it will evaluate the “prominence and scope” of Autopilot’s controls to address misuse, confusion and use in areas that the system is not designed to handle.
