US EditionTesla granted more time in US investigation into its self-driving tech
Tesla must review 8,313 records manually and respond by Feb. 23 amid multiple overlapping National Highway Traffic Safety Administration probes.
- On Thursday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration granted Tesla Inc. a five-week extension to address a defect investigation, giving the company until Feb. 23 to respond.
- NHTSA opened the probe in October after collecting dozens of reports that Teslas ran red lights, drove the wrong way or otherwise failed, covering roughly 2.9 million Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving.
- Tesla said it found 8,313 records needing manual review and can process around 300 records per day, calling simultaneous NHTSA information requests due Jan. 23 and Feb. 4 unduly burdensome.
- California state regulators have accused Tesla Inc. of overstating FSD's capabilities and threatened a 30-day sales suspension this year as Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, relies on FSD to boost demand after delivery declines.
- After calculating incident totals, Tesla Inc. plans to seek more time and provide detailed summaries including FSD software versions and whether drivers were alerted.
