Tesla’s remote parking under federal scrutiny after multiple crashes | This is the fourth NHTSA safety investigation currently looking at Tesla


Following reports of at least 16 crashes, NHTSA has opened a safety investigation into the Tesla Summon system.

Worse yet, Tesla has failed to report any of these incidents to the safety regulator, which has a standing general order that requires any automaker or operator of autonomous or partially automated vehicles to report crashes involving such systems that occur on publicly accessible roads. NHTSA ODI says its preliminary investigation will evaluate the system's capabilities, including the top speed allowed when being remotely operated, as well as other design restrictions. In 2014 he decided to indulge his lifelong passion for the car by leaving the National Human Genome Research Institute and launching Ars Technica's automotive coverage.
