Tesla vehicles kept crashing even after the Autopilot software updates, NHTSA says

Nine crashes involved Teslas striking objects in front of them.

At least 20 Tesla vehicles with Autopilot engaged were involved in crashes since the company issued a voluntary recall for the advanced driver assist system last December, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed in a new filing this week. Tesla recalled over 2 million vehicles with Autopilot in response to NHTSA’s investigation into dozens of crashes involving the company’s driver assist feature, including several which were fatal. NHTSA is requesting Tesla provide data that will allow its investigators to compare vehicle performance in these types of crashes before and after the recall, including the number of “Hands-on-Wheel” warnings issued to drivers.
