U.S. Justice Department seeks Tesla driver-assist documents — via drivingdotca Safety LuxuryVehicles IndustryNews ElectricVehicles
A 2016 video that Musk promoted on Twitter as evidence that “Tesla drives itself” was staged
to show capabilities like stopping at a red light that the system did not have, according to testimony by a senior engineer first reported by Reuters earlier this month. Regulators are examining if Autopilot’s design and claims about its capabilities provide users a false sense of security, leading to complacency behind the wheel with possibly fatal results.
Acting National Highway Traffic Safety Administration chief Ann Carlson said this month the agency is “working really fast” on the Tesla Autopilot investigation it opened in August 2021 that she termed “very extensive.” In June, NHTSA upgraded to an engineering analysis its defect probe into 830,000 Tesla vehicles with Autopilot, a step that was necessary before the agency could demand a recall.
Autopilot is designed to assist with steering, braking, speed and lane changes. The function currently requires active driver supervision and does not make the vehicle autonomous. Tesla separately sells the US$15,000 full self-driving software as an add-on that enables its vehicles to change lanes and park autonomously.
