The ongoing investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into Tesla’s delayed crash reporting highlights a significant regulatory focus on transparency and compliance within the automotive industry. By examining the reasons behind Tesla’s failure to report crashes involving their Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) systems in a timely manner, NHTSA aims to enforce adherence to safety regulations. According to this report, Tesla attributed the reporting delays to a data collection issue, which they claim has been rectified. Nevertheless, the investigation seeks to verify these claims and ensure that measures are in place to prevent recurrence of such violations in the future.
