Tesla Reports Fatal Crashes, Then Censors Almost Everything
Tesla reports thousands of incidents involving its driver-assist systems to NHTSA but censors nearly all details, citing trade secrets. An investigation by Electrek matched uncensored data with police reports to identify fatal crashes where Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was active, including cases of speeding, sudden stops, and left-turn collisions. Despite marketing the software as fully autonomous, Tesla attributes blame to drivers while the systems remain Level 2, requiring constant human supervision.
