\u25bc Summary<\/summary>\n

– The NHTSA is investigating over 2.8 million Tesla vehicles equipped with the Full Self-Driving system for traffic violations.
– Investigators will also review FSD performance at railroad crossings, following reports of failures to stop with approaching trains.
– Tesla currently operates a ridehailing service with safety monitors in San Francisco and Austin, with plans to expand nationwide.

T<\/mark>he National Highway Traffic Safety Administration<\/a><\/strong> has initiated a formal investigation into approximately 2.8 million Tesla<\/a> vehicles equipped with the company\u2019s Full Self-Driving<\/a> technology. This probe, first detailed by Reuters<\/a>, will scrutinize reported traffic violations linked to the FSD<\/a> system, such as running red lights and traveling in the wrong direction on roadways.<\/p>\n\n

NHTSA<\/a>\u2019s Office of Defects Investigation<\/a> is currently examining 58 separate safety incidents<\/a> tied to the autonomous driving<\/a> feature. These documented cases include 14 collisions and 23 reported injuries. Investigators noted specific examples where Tesla vehicles failed to come to a complete stop at red traffic signals while FSD was active. Other incidents involved cars improperly entering opposing lanes during turns or attempting to drive the wrong way on clearly marked one-way streets.<\/p>\n\n

While the primary focus remains on red light<\/a> and wrong-way driving<\/a> infractions, federal authorities will also evaluate how the system behaves at railroad crossings<\/a>. A recent NBC<\/a> report brought attention to this concern, documenting multiple situations where Teslas<\/a> using Full Self-Driving failed to halt at railway intersections despite approaching trains.<\/p>\n\n

This regulatory scrutiny arrives at a challenging moment for Tesla as the company actively seeks approval from municipal authorities for its proposed robotaxi network. Tesla currently operates a limited ride-hailing service with human safety monitors present in vehicles throughout San Francisco and Austin<\/a>. Company CEO Elon Musk has publicly stated ambitions to expand this service to cover half of the United States before year\u2019s end, making the timing of this safety investigation particularly significant for the automaker\u2019s future plans.<\/p>\n\n
