The Feds Are Investigating an Elon Musk Tweet About Full SelfDriving Update
"One of Elon Musk’s numerous tweets is now part of an ongoing federal investigation into the safety of Tesla’s automated driver-assistant system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requested more information from Tesla about a December 31 post from Musk, as first reported by the Associated Press and confirmed by NHTSA in an email to Gizmodo.
In that aforementioned, New Year’s Eve post, Musk insinuated that certain Tesla drivers don’t need reminders to keep their hands on the steering wheel, and claimed the company was working on a software update to curtail such alerts.
The NHTSA has been probing Tesla over its Autopilot software since 2021. Last summer, the federal watchdog announced a big expansion of that investigation, after identifying at least 16 instances of Tesla cars crashing into first responder vehicles. And another federal regulator, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, has been investigating Tesla over individual crashes and other incidents for years."
