The American regulator suspects the company violation of policies for submitting data to accidents due to delay in providing accident reports.
Tesla is investigating the US National Directorate of Road Safety for delays in submitting reports to accidents using the Autopilot system and full self -driving, Verge reports. According to the rules, car manufacturers should report such incidents within a day or five, but TESLA, such as agency’s note, often delivers data after a few months or even later.
Tesla explained the delays in technical problems in the data collection, which is said to have been removed. At the same time, the NHTSA said it was opening up a auditing investigation to ensure compliance with the company in all procedures.
The request to report to an accident with driver assistance systems has been valid since 2021. Then a special argument has been introduced, thanking auto manufacturers and Robotaxi operators to report accidents involving both fully autonomic car and second -level automation systems. According to the document, it is necessary to adjust the cases when the system is active for 30 seconds before collision, and send information to the regulator.
During this time, Tesla submitted more than 2.3 thousand reports to the accidents. The review showed that the company was involved in 40 of the 43 deadly accidents registered respectively.
Autopilot and whole self-driving systems used by TESLA are classified as second-level automation technologies: they can perform individual control functions, but require constant control from the driver. For comparison, the Alphabet Waymo uses fourth uprising systems that do not require the presence of someone behind the wheel.
We will remind you, earlier it was reported that Tesla lost half of the sales in the UK and Germany.
