Tesla Faces NHTSA Probe Over Delayed Autopilot Crash Reports
Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving systems are under renewed scrutiny as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigates delayed crash reporting. Federal regulations mandate automakers disclose incidents involving advanced driver-assistance systems within five days—a requirement Tesla allegedly missed by months in multiple cases.
The EV Maker claims data collection errors caused the delays, now resolved. This probe adds to existing NHTSA investigations into Tesla's autonomous technology, ongoing since October. Regulatory transparency concerns mount as automated systems increasingly intersect with public safety.
