– Tesla -Crash reports are under a federal investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the automaker lasted too long to submit the reports.
NHTSA’s Standing General Order 2021-01 came into force in May 2023 and requires a company to report certain crashes with vehicles equipped with automated driving systems or SAE Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.
In this case, supervisors found countless Tesla crash reports that were only submitted a few months after the crash data. Those crash reports must be submitted from one to five days after Tesla learns from a crash.
NHTSA says that Tesla has also submitted the crash reports in batches or on a rolling basis, a problem that Tesla blamed for failed data collection.
Tesla told security rulers that the problems with data collection have been resolved, but NHTSA has opened the investigation to determine whether that is the truth. According to the government, Tesla must follow the legal requirements of the standing general order with regard to the director’s assistance systems.
NHTSA will investigate the reporting delays, how large they were and how Tesla reportedly resolved the reporting errors. Regulators also want to know if there were crashes that were never reported.
The Tesla Crash Report study comprises approximately 2,600,000 vehicles.
