U.S. auto safety regulators in April 2021 asked Tesla about incidents involving its vehicles striking parked emergency vehicles while using Autopilot months before it opened a formal probe, according to a letter recently made public.

NHTSA opened a formal preliminary evaluation in August and upgraded it earlier this month to an engineering analysis.
