Federal authorities say a"critical safety gap" in Tesla's Autopilot system contributed to at least 467 collisions, 13 resulting in fatalities.
Tesla's Autopilot design has"led to foreseeable misuse and avoidable crashes," the NHTSA report said. The system did not"sufficiently ensure driver attention and appropriate use."The agency also said it was opening a new probe into the effectiveness of a software update Tesla previously issued as part of a recall in December. That update was meant to fix Autopilot defects that NHTSA identified as part of this same investigation.
The NHTSA findings are the most recent in a series of regulator and watchdog reports that have questioned the safety of Tesla's Autopilot technology, which the company has promoted as a key differentiator from other car companies.Tesla has not issued a response to Friday's NHTSA report and did not respond to a request for comment sent to Tesla's press inbox, investor relations team and to the company's vice president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravy.
