Tesla slow in reporting self-driving tech crashes
US Federal Automatic Security Regulators are investigating why Tesla has broken rules that require quickly to explain about accidents containing self -driving technology.
Considering the company’s plans to put hundreds of thousands of drivers on the US roads next year, it is a potentially important development.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday that Tesla’s reports on a large number of events, including driver’s assistance and self -driving characteristics, were sent too late in five days after accidents.
The Probe, operated by Elon Musk, the electric vehicle manufacturer Austin, two months after the self -lasting taxi service in Texas, hopes to soon provide a country -wide.
The company also hopes to send aerial software updates to millions of Teslas, which will allow them to drive themselves.
Enthusiastic investors about such plans, Musk’s President Donald Trump and the support of far -right politicians in Europe due to boycotts on the sale and snow, despite the sale of Tesla kept their shares in the air.
Security agency, why the investigation took so long to report Tesla’s accidents, whether the reports contain all the necessary data and details, and whether the agency is still not known, he said.
Tesla did not respond to a request for a comment, but the agency said that the company said that delays were “due to a problem with data collection”.
The new investigation follows another investigation in Tesla’s self -driving technology, including self -driving technology and death in foggy weather, in October.
This probe contains 2.4 million Tesla vehicles.
The accident reporting rule was applied in 2021 for vehicles using two drivers supported software or vehicles that require drivers to pay attention to the road.
According to the agency data, Tesla reported 2308 accidents when software is used, more than 2600 majority reported by all automobile manufacturers.
The figures are distorted with the fact that Tesla is the dominant producer of partial self -in -passing vehicles in the United States.
The company offers Robotaxi Rides to a particular group in Austin, but at the beginning of this month, according to a Musk Post on X, the customer who pays for any payment will allow him to greet their cabins in September.
Tesla also began to allow the limited Robotaxi service in San Francisco with a driver behind the steering wheel as a security check to comply with California rules.
Investors in Tesla were applauded after winning the presidency, hoping that Trump’s security regulators are easier in the company, the largest financial supporter Musk will reward the largest financial supporter Musk.
Now, after giving the name of a “disgusting” that will add Trump’s budget bill to the US debt and threaten to establish a new political party, it is not so certain that Musk has fallen with the president in recent months.
Tesla stock fell less than 1.0 percent in the afternoon on Thursday.
