==Documents posted Thursday by the agency raise some serious issues about Teslaâs Autopilot system. The agency found that itâs being used in areas where its capabilities are limited, and that many drivers arenât taking action to avoid crashes despite warnings from the vehicle.
NHTSA reported that is has found 16 crashes into emergency vehicles and trucks with warning signs, causing 15 injuries and one death.
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.
Investigators will evaluate additional data, vehicle performance and âexplore the degree to which Autopilot and associated Tesla systems may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks undermining the effectiveness of the driverâs supervision,â the agency said.
