The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation into incidents involving Tesla's self-driving robotaxis in Austin, Texas. This scrutiny follows reports and videos of the vehicles allegedly violating traffic laws during their first day of paid operations.
Reports indicated that Tesla's robotaxis were observed speeding and veering into incorrect lanes, raising immediate safety concerns. The NHTSA is actively gathering information on these incidents to assess the performance and safety of the autonomous system.
This federal investigation poses a significant challenge to Tesla's robotaxi ambitions, potentially leading to operational restrictions or delays in expanding the service. It also impacts public confidence in the safety and reliability of Tesla's autonomous driving technology.
