New US investigations into Tesla's "Autopilot" software.
Tesla's driver-assist system "Autopilot" has come under the spotlight of new investigations by the U.S. transportation safety regulator. The focus is on the advanced version "Full Self-Driving" (fully autonomous). With it, Tesla's electric cars are expected to drive autonomously over time - though for now the people at the wheel must still intervene in case of errors. The new investigation includes, among other things, cases where the software steered cars into the oncoming lane or allowed them to drive through intersections despite red lights.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is examining 58 incidents as part of its investigation, in which 23 people were injured. There were no fatalities.
Drivers must intervene
Tesla has been letting drivers in the United States test FSD software on public roads for some time now. In particular at the beginning they released many videos in which the system sometimes made serious errors and the people at the wheel had to intervene to prevent accidents. According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the software has become much better with new versions.
Six cases were reported to the NHTSA in which the FSD software of Teslas drove past red lights at intersections, resulting in accidents. Several of the incidents occurred at the same intersection in the state of Maryland.
The investigation will also assess how well the FSD system recognizes traffic signs and traffic guidance and uses them to orient itself.
Cornerstone of the Future Plans
Musk is currently trying to align Tesla toward robotaxis and humanoid robots, while car sales have been flagging since last year. In the Texas city of Austin, the company is transporting passengers with several self-driving cars without a person at the wheel. However, there is still a supervisor sitting in the front passenger seat. Tesla's robotaxis were also filmed violating traffic rules.
The NHTSA started several investigations into the conventional version of the 'Autopilot' driver-assistance system years ago. (Source: dpa, NHTSA)
