Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ Faces Another Federal Safety Probe
US auto safety regulators are investigating Tesla Inc. over incidents in which its vehicles drove through red lights and violated other traffic laws while using the company’s partial-automation software.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it’s aware of 58 incidents — including instances in which Teslas drove in the wrong direction on a road — that involved the driver-assistance system marketed as Full Self-Driving. The so-called preliminary evaluation involves an estimated 2.9 million vehicles, according to a filing posted on the agency’s website.
