US Opens Probe Into 2.8 Million Tesla Vehicles Over Traffic Violations When Using FSD

Reuters10-09

WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday that it is opening an investigation into 2.88 million Tesla vehicles equipped with its Full Self-Driving system over traffic-safety violations.

Tesla shares fell 2% in morning trading.

The auto safety agency said FSD -- an assistance system that requires drivers to pay attention and intervene if needed -- has "induced vehicle behavior that violated traffic safety laws".

The agency said it has reports of Tesla vehicles driving through red traffic lights and driving against the proper direction of travel during a lane change, while using the system.

    Human drivers crash all the time.  The question is whether the accident rate of FSD is lower than human accident rate.  Which I'm sure FSD is safer than human. But they never tell you the rate. Just saying they cause accidents without the rate is meaningless.
