US EditionTesla is slow in reporting crashes and the feds have launched an investigation to find out why
Tesla reported over 2,300 crashes involving driver-assistance systems late, triggering NHTSA's audit to assess reporting delays and data accuracy amid self-driving technology scrutiny.
- On August 19th, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into Tesla, Inc. for submitting numerous crash reports involving Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features months late, violating the five-day reporting requirement.
- Under the Standing General Order 2021, Tesla, Inc. has reported over 2,300 crashes involving Autopilot and Full Self-Driving, leading Level 2 ADAS crash counts, NHTSA records show.
- Tesla, Inc. has told NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation that delays were caused by failures in its internal data collection systems, which Tesla says have been fixed, while the agency opened an Audit Query to evaluate the cause, scope and mitigations related to the delays.
- NHTSA's actions extend to 2.4 million Tesla vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving, 2.6 million vehicles from the January probe, and 2.5 million vehicles in related investigations.
- The inquiry matters because regulators highlight Tesla, Inc.'s plans to deploy hundreds of thousands of driverless cars next year and scrutinize its Austin, Texas robotaxi pilot and over-the-air software updates.
