Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’ software under investigation for traffic safety violations

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) launched a Investigation Tesla’s full self-driving technology after receiving reports on the software that vehicles can drive red lights or enter the wrong lane.

This investigation, which identified more than 50 reports of this type of violation (four of which has led to injury), is one of the first self-drive (FSD) driver assistance software, especially the targets. The NHTSA earlier in October 2021, the FSD investigation was launched after receiving the report CrashThe

Federal security agency Tesla stopped investigating on April 2024 Low -enable Autopilot system After detecting 13 deadly crashes related to that software abuse. A separate investigation on the Fix Tesla’s effectiveness issued by the Autopilot is open.

The new investigation was opened in the same week that Tesla has released the latest version of the software, which contains CEO Elon Mask Spending up a couple of months of hypingThe This new version is expected to include training data earning Tesla during a limited Robotaxi pilot running in Austin, Texas.

The Security Organization’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) said on Thursday that it received at least 5 complaints and a media report alleged that Tesler FSD had failed to stop the car or stop at the Red Light. Also, ODIs have said that it has identified six reports from Tesla under the permanent general order (SGO) of the agency for crash reporting (SGO), for which companies have to submit information related to autonomous or partially autonomous cars.

The ODI says it has already worked with the Maryland Transport Authority and its state police to determine whether some of the Red Light problems are repeated, since “multiple things have occurred in the same turning point in Joppa, Maryland.” According to the NHTSA, Tesla has already “taken steps to solve the problem at this turn”.

The ODI also said on Thursday that it was identified by three complaints, two media reports and two SGO reports from Tesla that FSD “crossed the double-yellow lane marks while moving straight, or tried to visit any street despite the presence of road signs.”

The ODI says it has identified six complaints, a media report and four SGO reports where a Tesla with FSD drove directly from a turn lane, or turned through lane.

“Some of the reports reported in the ODI,” FSD to the driver with little notice or with little notice to intervene, seemed to be involved in implementing a lane change in the anti -journey alley, “wrote in the ODI.

ODI is known as a “initial evaluation” that opened, it is one of the first steps that can be taken on the path to the need for reconsideration. The agency says it usually tries to finish these investigations within eight months, although it is unclear whether the federal government will affect the shutdown period.

It is reported that the NHTSA’s government skill department has done a dramatic cut earlier this year’s NHTSA. Vehicles Automation Protection workersThe
