US advances probe of Teslas running into emergency vehicles
FILE - A 2021 Model 3 sedan is connected to a charger at a Tesla dealership on June 27, 2021, in Littleton, Colo. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday, June 9, 2022, that it's upgrading the probe into an engineering analysis, another sign of increased scrutiny of the electric vehicle maker and automated systems that perform at least some driving tasks. – Teslas with partially automated driving systems are a step closer to being recalled after the U.S.
Documents posted Thursday by the agency raise some serious issues about Tesla's Autopilot system. The agency found that it's being used in areas where its capabilities are limited, and that many drivers aren't taking action to avoid crashes despite warnings from the vehicle.The probe now covers 830,000 vehicles, almost everything that the Austin, Texas, carmaker has sold in the U.S. since the start of the 2014 model year.
The agency found that in many cases, drivers had their hands on the steering wheel as Tesla requires, yet they failed to take action to avoid a crash. This suggests that drivers are complying with Tesla's system that makes them keep hands on the wheel, the agency wrote. Yet this doesn't necessarily make sure they're paying attention.
Similar systems from other companies such as General Motors' Super Cruise use infrared cameras to make sure a driver is looking forward. But even these may still allow a driver to zone out, Walker Smith said.
