Tesla Autopilot involved in 13 fatal crashes, US regulator finds

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that Tesla's Autopilot driver-assistance system was involved in at least 13 fatal crashes. The regulator stated that Tesla's weak driver engagement system and permissive operating capabilities created a critical safety gap, and that the name 'Autopilot' may mislead drivers about its capabilities. Tesla issued a recall for 2.03 million vehicles to improve driver monitoring, but the NHTSA opened a second investigation to assess whether the recall adequately addressed the safety concerns.

Tesla Autopilot suspected in two fatal motorcycle crashes

In July 2022, two motorcyclists were killed in separate crashes involving Teslas suspected of using Autopilot. Both crashes occurred at night and involved cruiser motorcycles with low-set taillights. A theory suggests that Tesla's camera-only system, Tesla Vision, may have misidentified the close-together taillights as distant car headlights, leading to the collisions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating both incidents.
