US auto safety regulators asked Tesla Inc. why the electric-car maker did not issue a recall to address a software update made to its Autopilot driver-assistance system to improve the vehicles’ ability to detect emergency vehicles Is. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in August began a formal safety investigation of Tesla’s Autopilot system in 765,000 US vehicles after a series of accidents involving Tesla models and emergency vehicles. To date, NHTSA has identified 12 accidents that involved Tesla vehicles using advanced driver-assistance systems and emergency vehicles. NHTSA said most incidents occurred after dark. NHTSA wants Tesla to disclose the “technical and/or legal basis for the decline” to issue the recall.
In a separate letter, NHTSA asked Tesla about its “Autosteer on City Streets”, which the company also refers to as “full self-driving” (FSD), released in October 2020, and the safety issues drivers are facing. Raised concerns about the extent of disclosure. “Despite Tesla describing the FSD as ‘beta’, it is capable and continues to be used on public roads,” NHTSA said. Some users have posted social media videos that show obvious problems with the FSD system. NHTSA wants Tesla to disclose its “criteria and timeline to allow access to customers who have requested consideration in Tesla’s FSD beta request.”

NHTSA said it was aware of reports that participants in Tesla’s FSD early-access beta release program have “non-disclosure agreements that allegedly limit participants from sharing information about FSDs that are not included in the feature.” …even has limitations on publicly sharing some information. Adversely affects NHTSA’s ability to obtain information relevant to security.”
NHTSA said its action “demonstrates its commitment to safety and the agency’s ongoing efforts to collect the information needed, as technology develops, to fulfill its role in keeping everyone safe on roadways.” . … we will act when we detect an unreasonable risk. For public safety.”
NHTSA asked last month about Tesla’s delivery of functionality to certain Tesla vehicles intended to improve the detection of emergency vehicle lights in low-light conditions, and requests Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving Beta”. Menu Options” was released in early October.
In February, Tesla agreed to a recall of 135,000 vehicles with touch-screen displays that can fail and increase the risk of an accident after the recall by NHTSA.
NHTSA notes that the law states that automakers must issue a recall “when they determine that the vehicles or equipment they produce have defects related to motor vehicle safety or do not comply with an applicable motor vehicle safety standard. “
The safety regulator said the updates were to help detect flashing emergency vehicle lights in low light conditions “and then respond to said detection with driver alerts and vehicle speed changes when autopilot is engaged.”
Tesla must respond to NHTSA’s letter by November 1.
Tesla did not immediately comment. Its shares were marginally higher in Wednesday afternoon trading.
